Multiple champion sire Gimmethegreenlight has enjoyed a wonderful few days, and the son of More Than Ready was at it again on Saturday.
Gimmethegreenlight had four winners at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Saturday, with his sons Lyrical Gangster and Astronomical Boy winning the first two races, another son, Scottish Kiss, landing the seventh race and promising daughter Gimme What I Want victorious in the ninth and final race.
Three-year-old Lyrical Gangster followed up a third place last time out with a win in the Hollywoodbets Durbanville Welcomes You Maiden Plate (1000m). Under JP Van Der Merwe, the Justin Snaith trained colt powered home to win convincingly by two and a quarter lengths.
Bred by Klawervlei Stud, Lyrical Gangster, who was making his fourth start on Saturday, races for Greg Bortz, Gina Goldsmith and Itssa & IT Business Solutions (Pty) Ltd.
The blue blooded Astronomical Boy gave Gimmethegreenlight a quick double when he won Saturday’s Genuine Ennion Syndicate Maiden Plate (1250m). Under Craig Zackey, the Candice Bass trained gelding kept finding to shed his maiden by a length.
Bred by Maine Chance Farms, Astronomical Boy, a full-brother to multiple graded stakes winner Cosmic Highway, is owned by Khaya Stables.
Gimmethegreenlight looks to have another progressive son on his hands in the form of Scottish Kiss. The latter made it back to back wins when he won the Lucky Fish New Fortune Class 3 (1250m) for Justin Snaith and Callan Murray.
Bred by Varsfontein Stud, four-year-old Scottish Kiss races for all of Jonathan Bloch, Etienne Braun, Tony Cotterell & Mark Currie & Mrs Vanashree & Mr Anant Singh.
Out of the Jet Master mare Kissimmee, Scottish Kiss is bred on the same cross as graded stakes winners La Bella Mia, Universal, Green Plains and One Night In Paris.
Gimmethegreenlight is also the sire of the exciting filly Gimme What I Want, who made it two wins from just three starts with her victory on Saturday.
One of four winners on the day for Justin Snaith, the three-year-old stormed home to claim the Hollywoodbets Bright Future Class 4 (F and M) (1250m) by three parts of a length.
Bred and owned by Varsfontein Stud, Gimme What I Want is out of the Captain Al mare Secret Obsession and is bred on the same cross as champions Proceed and Sandringham Summit.
