Maine Chance Farms’ all conquering sire Vercingetorix made it a weekend feature race double on Saturday when his son Taxi To The Moon won the G3 Betway Lebelo Sprint.
Just one day earlier, Vercingetorix filly Ladyofdistinction had caught the eye when she won the Listed Flamboyant Stakes, at the expense of another Vercingetorix filly Amelia’s Legacy, at Hollywoodbets Greyville.

Four-year-old Taxi To The Moon provided his trainer Tony Peter with a third consecutive win in the race when he won Saturday’s Lebelo Sprint (1000m) at Turffontein.
Under Gavin Lerena, the Vercingetorix gelding justified pre-race betting support when he stormed home to claim Saturday’s G3 feature by half a length.

Bred by Oldlands Stud, Taxi To The Moon races for Kestorm Investments.

In landing the 2025 Lebelo Sprint (a race in which he had finished fifth in 2024), Taxi To The Moon took his tally of wins to five from 17 outings.
The gelding, runner up in the last two runnings of the Listed Allied Steelrode Golden Loom Handicap, is out of the Indigo Magic mare Earn A Moon and is thus bred on the same cross as the Oldlands bred G1 Gold Medallion winner Ambiorix.

Taxi To The Moon was one of three winners at Turffontein on Saturday for his champion sire Vercingetorix.
The latter’s G2 winning daughter Callmegetrix won Saturday’s Play Soccer 6,10 And 13 Pinnacle Stakes, and Vercingetorix gelding Plus Four stormed home to land the same day’s For Hospitality Bookings Call 011 681 1796 MR 96 Handicap.
