Fastnet Winner for Pfieffer

Tara Madgwick - Monday June 19
A day after hosting an open day at his Warwick Farm stables, David Pfieffer produced a smart two year-old winner at Goulburn by champion sire Fastnet Rock.

Cape Wickham as a yearlingCape Wickham was unplaced when making his debut in the Magic Millions Wyong 2YO Classic last year, but showed the benefit of a good break when scoring a stylish victory over 1300 metres at his second run back from a spell.

He travelled just off the leaders for Corey Brown and surged to the line to win by the best part of a length.

A $250,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Coolmore draft for his trainer, Cape Wickham is a three-quarter brother to stakes-winner Superfly and is the fifth winner from stakes-winner Allez France.

He is the 13th Australian two year-old winner this season for Fastnet rock, who has had a great year with his juveniles who include Group I winner Catchy and Group and stakes-winners Shoals, Formality and Merchant Navy.
