Cheveley Stud’s homebred champion Legislate enjoyed more big race success at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday.
His three-year-old daughter Wish List became her sire’s second G1 winner when she won the G1 Cartier Paddock Stakes (1800m) for Justin Snaith and Andrew Fortune.
The lightly raced Wish List picked up the biggest win of her career when she downed a high-class field in Saturday’s R1 000 000 contest.
Under an inspired Andrew Fortune ride, the sophomore burst through down the inside of the track and kept going gamely to hold off a wall of challenges and win the Paddock Stakes by half a length.
Bred by Maine Chance Farms, Wish List, third in the recent G1 World Sports Betting Cape Fillies Guineas, races for Jonathan Bloch and Nancy Hossack.
The filly, winner of two of seven starts, is out of the Silvano mare Wind Chill. The progressive Wish List was a R700 000 purchase from the 2024 National Yearling Sale and her Paddock Stakes win ensured the filly a berth in the 2026 G1 Maker’s Mark Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Turf.
South Africa’s Horse Of The Year in 2014-2015, Legislate went close to having a graded stakes double on Saturday with his G3 Ownpay Peninsula Handicap winning son Regulation finishing third in Saturday’s G2 Anthonij Rupert Premier Trophy. Legislate is also the sire of smart filly Lowveld Lily, who ran third in Saturday’s G2 Cartier Sceptre Stakes.
