Maine Chance Farms’ champion sire Vercingetorix came up with yet another stakes winner when his progressive son Splittheeights won the G3 Betway Got The Greenlight Stakes at Turffontein on Sunday.
It was a second year in a row that son of Vercingetorix had won the feature race, with Greaterix having triumped in 2025.

Under Raymond Danielson, Splittheeights made a mockery of his starting price of 10-1 with a smart display.
The Vercingetorix colt powered home to get up close home and conquer stablemate One Eye On Vegas by just over a length and a quarter.

Trained by Mike and Mathew De Kock, the lightly raced Splittheeights has won two of just four starts and looks very progressive.

Bred by Ridgemont Highlands, Sunday’s winner races for Mr Murugasa.

Splittheeights, who is out of the Trippi mare Massachusetts, is bred on the same cross as stakes winners La Moohal, I’m So Pritti and Phedra.

His champion sire Vercingetorix, whose son Definitely Yes won at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Sunday, went close to enjoying a feature race double at Turffontein.

His previously unbeaten son Grand Empire ran second in Sunday’s Listed 4Racing Wolf Power 1600 with Vercingetorix filly Pretty Persuasive finishing third in the same day’s Listed Betway Mother Russia Stakes.
