Drakenstein Stud’s four time G1 winning sire, and former Horse Of The Year, Futura has been enjoying a fine season in 2025-2026.
Dynasty’s champion son enjoyed more success at the Vaal on Tuesday, where Futura fillies won the fourth and fifth races respectively.

Future Gamble, who had finished in her last two races prior to Tuesday’s race, was duly rewarded for consistency when she won the Play Soccer 6,10 And 13 Maiden Plate (F and M) (2000m).
The James Crawford trained three-year-old was given a good ride by Callan Murray, with Murray keeping his mount going over the closing stages to win by a neck.

Bred and owned by Drakenstein Stud, Future Gamble is out of the Captain Al mare Captain Gambler.

Futura also looks to have a promising three-year-old in the form of Sand Script. A full-sister to Equus Champion Future Pearl, the Sean Tarry trained filly made amends for a disappointing debut when she romped home to win Tuesday’s SA Derby 4 April Maiden Plate (1700m). Under Ryan Munger, the striking looking filly powered home to win impressively by three lengths, while making just her second start.

Bred and owned by Drakenstein Stud, Sand Script is out of the Al Mufti mare Arabian Pearl.

Futura, whose exciting son Note To Self ran second in this season’s G1 Lucky Fish Cape Derby, could be poised for big race success this weekend. His exciting daughter Curious Girl, an impressive last out winner of the Ormonde Ferraris Oaks Trial, is set to take on male rivals when she lines up in Saturday’s G2 TAB SA Derby.
