Varsfontein Stud’s increasingly successful stallion Master Of My Fate, whose first crop son Twist Of Fate runs in Saturday’s G1 Vodacom Durban July, enjoyed another good weekend this past week, with the dual G2 winning son of Jet Master and Promisefrommyheart responsible for five winners at three different racetracks.

Master Of My Fate kicked off the weekend with his progeny Alaskan Fate and Masterful winning races three and seven respectively.
Two-year-old Alaskan Fate became Master Of My Fate’s eight juvenile winner this season when she got off the mark with a facile 3.25 length score over 1200m for trainer Gavin Smith and breeders Lammerskraal Stud. The filly was produced by the Western Winter mare Iditarod.

Her paternal half-brother Masterful picked up his fourth career win when victorious over 1300m for trainer Gavin Smith and breeder Brad van der Riet.
His sire Master Of My Fate, whose sons Lickerio and Master Of Spain both won in Mauritius over the weekend, also struck at Kenilworth on Saturday with his 3yo son Fateful notching up his second win for trainer Mike Robinson and breeders Beaumont Stud.

Out of the Lundy’s Liability mare Lady Calumet, Fateful has now won or been second in each of his last six starts.

Master Of My Fate, whose 2yos this season include G2 SA Fillies Nursery winner Basadi Faith, also went close to enjoying 2yo stakes success with his progressive daughter Driving Miss Daisy beaten just a head when second in Saturday’s Listed Irridescence Stakes.

The imposing bay has eight yearlings on offer at this week’s KZN Yearling Sale.
