Winterbach Stud’s well performed young stallion Master Archie got a notable update to his pedigree when his full-brother Churchillian won at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Tuesday.
The Rafeef sired two-year-old showed the benefit of experience when he ran out a convincing winner of the Hollywoodbets Kenilworth Welcomes You Maiden Juvenile Plate (1000m).

Trained by Candice Bass-Robinson, the Aldo Domeyer ridden Churchillian was always up with the pace and kicked on in the closing stages to win by a length and a half.

Churchillian, who was making his fourth start on Wednesday, was bred by  Messrs V Harry, S A Hanna & Adam Azzie.

The colt is the eighth two-year-old winner this season, thus far, for his sire Rafeef.
Churchillian, who is out of the stakes winning Var mare La Volta,  is the seventh winner for his dam.

A full-sister to the G1 placed Valeta, La Volta (whose eight wins included a triumph in the Listed Bauhinia Handicap), is best known as the dam of the top-class performer Master Archie.
The latter won seven races notably the 2022 G1 Computaform Sprint, where Master Archie accounted for such graded stakes winners as Big Burn, True To Life, Alesian Chief, and Bohica among others.
