Aussie Winners in South Africa

Tara Madgwick - Monday August 3
Two nicely bred Australian bred fillies opened their accounts in South Africa on Sunday with Leila's Charger scoring at Turffontein and Lady Lago successful at Greyville.

Bolting away for a five length debut win over 1160 metres for the Dominic Zaki stable was three year-old Charge Forward filly Leila's Charger.

Lady Lago as a yearlingA modest $26,000 Inglis Classic Summer Book purchase for Heritage Bloodstock from the Arrowfield draft, Leila's Charger is the second winner and last foal for Lilanda (IRE) (she died in 2014), a half-sister by Grand Lodge to Champion German Sprinter and dual Group I winner Linngari.

Mike de Kock and Sheikh Mohammed bin Khalifa combined to win with well-bred three year-old Encosta de Lago filly Lady Lago, who scored over a mile by a neck at her third start.

Lady Lago was a $55,000 Inglis Premier purchase for Form Bloodstock from the draft of Three Bridges Thoroughbreds and is a full sister to Group III winner Decircles and sibling to stakes-placed King Raedwald, Raffles Knight and Hybrid.

Lady Lago will be a valuable broodmare prospect for Sheikh bin Khalifa's breeding operation as she comes from the family of Group I champions Elvstroem, Haradasun, Starspangledbanner and current Group winning Galileo three year-old Highland Reel.
