Australian bred horses have competed very successfully in South Africa over the years and a significant number of Aus bred mares are now at stud over there and one of them is the dam of talented four year-old Royal Aussie, who won the Group II Drill Hall Stakes (1400m) at Greyville in South Africa on Wednesday.
Classic trials continued overnight in the UK with the Group III Chester Vase and Listed Cheshire Oaks producing two exciting new stakes-winners, but for one of them the glory of victory was short lived.
