South Africa’s reigning champion sire Vercingetorix continues to come up with feature race winners on a regular race.
The son of Silvano once again provided a feature race winner when the Vercingetorix gelding Bad Medicine won the Glenlair Trophy (2800m) at Fairview on Friday.
In the process, the Kelly Mitchley trained four-year-old made it four wins on the bounce.

Under Muzi Yeni, Bad Medicine raced just off the pace early on. The gelding hit the front shortly after the field turned for home, and Bad Medicine kept finding in the closing stages to win by half a length.

Bred by Narrow Creek Stud, Bad Medicine races for Mr Mr Mervin Govender.
Unbeaten in the Eastern Cape, Bad Medicine has won six of 21 starts.

Friday’s winner, who is out of the Indigo Magic mare Redeem My Heart, was originally a R600 000 buy from the 2023 National Yearling Sale, before being resold at the 2025 December Online Sale.

Champion sire Vercingetorix also enjoyed success at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Friday night, when his daughter Catch A Penny won the eighth and final race.
At the time of writing, the Maine Chance Farms resident had been responsible for 14 black type winners this season, with Vercingetorix sired runners having already earned in excess of R25 million during the 2025-2026 season.
