Fresh off supplying a very impressive winner at Kenilworth on Monday, Drakenstein Stud’s inform resident sire Futura struck twice at Hollywoodbets Scottsville on Wednesday.

Remarkably, both of Futura’s Wednesday winners were scoring on debut with both winners looking exciting prospects going forward.

Two-year-old filly Princess Ozma made the perfect start to her racing career when she made a winning debut to capture the first race at Scottsville’s Wednesday meeting.
Under Donovan Dillon, the Wendy Whitehead trained filly pulled clear in the closing stages to land the tabgold -The Intelligent Bet! Maiden Juvenile Plate (Fillies) (1200m) by nearly two lengths.

Out of the Jallad mare Blushing Fairy, the Varsfontein Stud bred Princess Ozma was a R220 000 buy from last year’s Cape Yearling Sale.

Former Horse Of The Year Futura had a great day at Scottsville on Wednesday -with the champion not only responsible for two smart looking winners, but for three other runners who ran in the first four. Remarkably, all five of Futura’s runners on Wednesday either won or finished in the money!

Already sire of the graded stakes winners Nourbese, Vihaan’s Pie and Warrior, Futura has two fillies on offer at Sunday’s Cape Yearling Sale.
