Drakenstein Stud’s inform stallion What A Winter had another good weekend this past week, when the former Equus Champion supplied four South Africa winners.

The former champion was responsible for two winners on Friday, with What A Winter’s daughters African Winter and Chilly Winter also victorious in their respective races at Kenilworth the following day.

Remarkably, Chilly Winter beat fellow What A Winter daughters Seeking Peace and Ma Black into second and third placings respectively, when those fillies ran 1-2-3 in the fifth race at Kenilworth on Saturday.

What A Winter’s son Line Of Power made it three wins in a row when he scored a game win at Fairview on Friday.
Now in the care of Alan Greeff, the gelded four-year-old ran on strongly under Greg Cheyne to score by a short head.
Bred by the Hemel ‘N Aarde Stud, Line Of Power has now won four times.

What A Winter’s second success on Friday came when his Peter Muscutt trained son Winter Flight landed the second race at Hollywoodbets Greyville.
Under Donovan Dillon, the Ridgemont Highlands bred gelding just prevailed in a thrilling finish to the Look Out For Backontrack Competition MR 90 Handicap (MR90) when scoring by a short-head.
Winter Flight, who has now won two of his last three starts, had another son of What A Winter, Princekresh, beaten in third spot in Friday’s 1000m race.

The inform four time G1 winner followed up his Friday double by supplying two more winners at Kenilworth on Saturday.
His daughter African Winter got off the mark when ridden to victory by Siphiwe Madalana in the first race at Kenilworth. Trained by Justin Snaith, the What A Winter daughter showed tremendous courage when staying on to win by a short head, with African Winter having been unlucky not to win her previous start.

Speedy filly Chilly Winter provided her sire with his fourth win over the weekend, when that five-year-old downed her paternal half-sisters Seeking Peace and Ma Black to win the fifth race on the card.
Now a four time winner, Chilly Winter had finished second and fourth to Ma Black on her two previous starts, with the What A Winter mare having previously run second to another What A Winter daughter Casa Inverno before those two runs.
