Wilgerbosdrift’s inform stallion Fire Away enjoyed feature race success at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday.
His gelded three-year-old son Fortress Of Fire claimed his biggest race to date when he won the Listed HKIR In December Umngeni Handicap (1000m) on Sunday.

Under Rachel Venniker, the Michael Roberts trained gelding was slow away in Sunday’s Listed contest.
Racing towards the back of the field for much of the race, Fortress Of Fire powered home down the outside to get up close home and score by over half a length.

Bred by Clifton Stud, the three-year-old is owned by Erich Buhr.
Fortress Of Fire, who is out of the Fort Wood mare She’s A Fortress, was a R550 000 buy from the 2024 KZN Yearling Sale.

Sunday’s win pushed his tally of victories to four from 12 starts, with Fortress Of Fire having banked R413 013.

His inform sire Fire Away had also enjoyed success at Turffontein on Saturday, where his two-year-old son King Solomon won the first race on the card.

A son of the pensioned star sire War Front, Fire Away has 13 lots on offer at the August Two Year Old Sale.
