Champion Sire elect for 2024-2025, Vercingetorix looks to have another smart sort to his name in the form of Happy Verse.
That two-year-old made it two wins from two starts when he won Sunday’s Reeves Racing Syndicate Class 5 (1400m) at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth.

A good winner on debut, the Justin Snaith trained Happy Verse  caught the eye with a convincing win on Sunday.
Under Andrew Fortune, the colt powered home to win a shade cosily by a length.

Bred by Drakenstein Stud in partnership with Katom & Maine Chance Farms (Pty) Ltd, Happy Verse is out of the Giant’s Causeway mare Song Of Happiness.

The colt was a R1 600 000 buy from the 2024 Cape Premier Yearling Sale.

Happy Verse joins the likes of graded stakes winners Elegantrix and Quickstepgal as a promising two-year-old for his outstanding sire Vercingetorix this season.

His sire went close to enjoying yet more feature race success this season when his son Garrix finished second, beaten just a short-head, in Sunday’s Listed Pocket Power Stakes, with another son of Vercingetorix, Magic Verse, taking third in the Pocket Power Stakes.

Vercingetorix is set to stand for a fee of R300 000 in 2025.
