Cheveley Stud’s homebred champion Legislate has enjoyed an excellent season in 2025-2026, and the son of Dynasty’s great run continued at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday.
Not only did Legislate filly Wish List win Saturday’s G1 Lucky Fish Cape Derby (2000m), but another Legislate filly Lady Nancy ran third in the same day’s G3 Ridgemont Cape Of Good Hope Nursery.
In winning the Cape Derby, Wish List not only emulated her Derby winning sire Legislate but also her paternal Derby winning grandsire Dynasty.
Trained by Justin Snaith (who also trained Legislate), Wish List was given a fine ride by Richard Fourie in Saturday’s R1 500 000 classic.
Fourie bought his mount with a well timed challenge, and kept Wish List going to hold off stablemate Note To Self and win the 2026 Cape Derby by three-parts of a length.
Bred by Maine Chance Farms, Wish List has won three of eight starts, with the filly also victorious in this season’s G1 Cartier Paddock Stakes.
Owned by Jonathan Bloch and Nancy Hossack, Wish List is out of the Silvano mare Wind Chill.
Saturday’s Derby winner, bred on the same Legislate/Silvano cross as this season’s G1 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met runner up Legal Counsel, was a R700 000 buy from the 2024 National Yearling Sale.
Her four time G1 winning sire Legislate is having a wonderful season, with his flagbearers including not only Wish List and Legal Counsel but also fellow graded stakes winners Good For You and Regulation.
