Maine Chance Farms’ outstanding sire Vercingetorix came up with his 69th stakes winner on Saturday.
His two-year-old daughter Good Day Sunshine made it two wins from two starts when she won the G2 Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Nursery (1160m) at Turffontein.
Trained by Mike and Mathew De Kock, Good Day Sunshine had won her only start prior to Saturday’s race.
Under Richard Fourie, the two-year-old maintained her unbeaten record when she dug down deep to hold off runner up Griselda and win by just under half a length.
Good Day Sunshine was bred by Ridgemont Highlands, who own the filly in partnership with Devin Heffer.
Out of the G1 winning Captain Al mare Miss Florida, the 2026 SA Fillies Nursery winner is bred on the same cross as G1 winners Double Grand Slam, Mia Moo and Vernichey.
Her champion sire had also enjoyed success earlier in the day when Vercingetorix gelding One Of Those Days won the Welcome To Champions Day Maiden Plate (1400m).
The Sean Tarry trained three-year-old hit the front half way down the straight and kept galloping strongly to score by a length and a half.
Bred by Maine Chance Farms, One Of Those Days races for Kalinga and Mrs Prakashni Pillay.
