Aussie Juvenile Stakes-Winner in South Africa

Tara Madgwick - Sunday June 28
It's always nice to break the ice with a Black Type win and that's what happened for two year-old More Than Ready (USA) colt Ready to Attack, who was successful in the Group III Langerman Stakes at Kenilworth on Saturday.

Ready to Attack as a yearlingStepped up to 1500 metres at his third start, Ready to Attack powered clear to win by a length and three-quarters.

Prepared by Justin Snaith, Ready to Attack was a $200,000 Inglis Easter purchase from the Sledmere Stud draft for James Bester Bloodstock and runs for Hassen Adams and Mr and Mrs Markus Jooste.

The 144th stakes-winner for champion sire More Than Ready, Ready to Attack is the first winner for Group I winning Cape Cross (IRE) mare Gaze, who lost a foal by Commands last year and was not served.

Ready to Attack was the second Aussie bred winner on the card with Stratum four year-old Ntombe winning her third race earlier in the day over 1000 metres.

She was a $40,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Torryburn Stud draft for Heritage Bloodstock and is a three-quarter sister to this season's handy metro winning two year-old Skyclad from good producer Loulou.

Also breaking her maiden at Turffontein with a two length victory over 1600 metres was the Mike Azzie trained two year old filly Zappy Choice.

She was an $85,000 Magic Millions Naitonal Yearling Sale purchase for her trainer from the Arrowfield Stud draft and is a half-sister to stakes-placed Zarzali being the third winner from Zarakiysha (FR), an unraced half-sister to Arc winner and European Horse of the Year Zarkava.
