South Africa’s reigning champion sire Vercingetorix’s great run of success continued at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday.
Not only did the Vercingetorix fillies Beach Verse and Princess Of Gaul win Saturday’s Listed OTT Cape Fillies Classic and G3 SplashOut Prix Du Cap respectively, but his son Viva’s Liberte ran a cracking third in the same day’s G1 Lucky Fish Cape Derby. Another son of the mighty sire, O’Tenikwa, ran third in Saturday’s G2 Khaya Stables Diadem Stakes, while Vercingetorix filly Stormwatch ran second in the SplashOut Prix Du Cap.

Regally bred three-year-old Beach Verse picked up her biggest win to date when she ran out a convincing winner of Saturday’s OTT Cape Fillies Classic (1800m).
Under Aldo Domeyer, the Candice Bass trained filly hit the front at the top of the straight and from there kept galloping strongly to record a convincing one and a quarter length win.

Now a three time winner from nine starts, Beach Verse races for her breeders Drakenstein Stud.
Beach Verse, who is out of the Dynasty mare Beach Beauty, is bred on the same Vercingetorix/Dynasty cross as the G1 winning champion Gladatorian.

Another three-year-old daughter of Vercingetorix, Princess Of Gaul, picked up the third graded win of her career when she won Saturday’s SplashOut Prix Du Cap.
Under a well timed ride from Craig Zackey, the Dean Kannemeyer trained filly stormed home, from off the pace, to get up close home and beat paternal half-sister Stormwatch by a head.

Bred by Clive Murphy, Princess Of Gaul has won four of eight starts, with her wins including the 2025 G2 World Pool With Race Coast Debutante and 2025 G2 Western Cape Fillies Championship.
The filly, who is owned by Alac (Pty) Ltd, is out of the Duke Of Marmalade mare Miss Marmalade.

Princess Of Gaul is one of six stakes winners to have emerged from Vercingetorix’s current crop of three-year-olds.

South Africa’s Champion Sire of 2024-2025, Vercingetorix is once again heading the General Sires premiership this season.
