Klawervlei Stud’s four-time G1 winning sire Twice Over had a good day on Saturday. The champion was responsible for a pair of winners in South Africa on the day, including Listed World Sports Betting Aquanaut Handicap winner Breeze Over.
The latter picked up his biggest win to date when making much of the running to win Saturday’s R225 000 contest in convincing style. Under a positive ride from Muzi Yeni, the Michael and Adam Azzie trained Breeze Over got to the front early in running and kept going resolutely.
The gutsy Breeze Over showed no signs of stopping, and the son of Twice Over kept going gamely to win the Aquanaut Handicap by nearly a length and three quarters.
Bred by Drakenstein Stud, Breeze Over, who took his earnings to over R700 000 on Saturday, is out of the Giant’s Causeway mare Lebombo Breeze.
Twice Over is also the sire of the uber consistent Tambourine Man, who showed plenty of courage when winning at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday.
Trained by Adam Marcus, the five-year-old was given a superb ride by Craig Zackey in Saturday’s Perfectly Placed Class 5 (1250m).
The pair made much of the running, before fighting back gamely to win by a length.
Bred by Klawervlei Stud, Tambourine Man, who hails from the same female line as Twice Over himself, has won his last two starts.
His sire had also enjoyed success at Fairview one day earlier, where Twice Over gelding Painite won over 1900m.
Also sire of noted G1 winners such as Do It Again, See It Again, Double Superlative, and Sand And Sea, Twice Over has six lots on offer at the Premier Yearling Sale this week.
