Varsfontein Stud’s multiple champion sire Gimmethegreenlight reached a notable milestone on Saturday.
In winning Saturday’s Listed War Of Athena Handicap, his daughter Charge It became Gimmethegreenlight’s 80th individual stakes winner.

Trained by Alyson Wright, the three-year-old confirmed her good latest run, when runner up in the G3 Ducat Africa Fillies Mile, when storming home to claim the Listed Turffontein feature.
Despite proving a handful before the race, Charge It justified favouritism when running on strongly, under Muzi Yeni, to land the War Of Athena Handicap by nearly a length and a quarter.

Bred and owned by Varsfontein Stud, the filly has won two of five starts.

Charge It, who is out of the Diktat mare Congestion Charge, is a full-sister to Australian/South African G1 winner Yulong Prince/Surcharge.

Her champion sire Gimmethegreenlight had also enjoyed success at Hollywoodbets Greyville the day before.
Gimmethegreenlight filly Prom Queen picked up the third win of her career when she claimed Friday’s Online Form Guide www.gallop.co.za Class 4 (F &M) over 1600m.
Under S’Manga Khumalo, the Frikkie Greyling trained filly dug down deep to score by a short-head.

Bred by Ralphs Syndicate, Prom Queen races for Itssa It & Business Solutions (Pty) Ltd.

Her sire Gimmethegreenlight is enjoying another good season in 2025-2026, with the Varsfontein resident’s progeny having already earned more than R8.8 million in stakes this season.
