Master Of My Fate gelding wins on debut

Varsfontein Stud’s top class homebred stallion Master Of My Fate came up with a good looking debut winner at the Vaal on Wednesday.
His three-year-old son Special Envoy made the perfect start to his career when he won the Racing Today Maiden Plate (1400m).

Trained by Mike and Mathew De Kock, the gelded sophomore was given a fine ride by Calvin Ngcobo in Wednesday’s contest.
Ngcobo brought Special Envoy with a powerful run and the pair exploded through to win going away by two lengths.

Bred by Varsfontein Stud, Wednesday’s winner races for Preshalin Murugasa.

Special Envoy, who is out of the Captain Al mare Victorian Secret, was a R600 000 buy from the 2025 National Yearling Sale.
The three-year-old son of Master Of My Fate is a full-brother to G3 The Independent On Saturday Affluence Godolphin Barb Stakes runner up Master Of Illusion.

His star sire Master Of My Fate had a good day on Wednesday, with the Varsfontein resident’s son Master Christmas running second in the first race, and fellow son Boundless Love finishing runner up in race six.

The sire of more than 40 stakes winners, Master Of My Fate has nine lots on offer at the 2026 August Two Year Old Sale.
