Aussie Group Two Winner South Africa

Tara Madgwick - Sunday March 26
The hot run being enjoyed by Darley shuttler Teofilo (IRE) extended to South Africa on Saturday where his progressive four year-old Brazuca took out the Group II Colorado King Stakes at Turffontein.

The Johan Janse van Vuuren trained entire had been Group I placed on five occasions but amazingly had not won a stakes race until Saturday.

Brazuca as a yearlingHe corrected that anomaly when racing away to win the 2000 metre feature by three lengths, his fifth win from 14 starts.

An $80,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the draft of Kia Ora Stud, Brazuca was bred by Wall Street Thoroughbreds and is a half-brother to stakes-winner Mr Utopia and is one of five winners from Base Paradise, a daughter of Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Catnipped.

The current yearling from Base Paradise, a colt by Stratum, made $240,000 at Inglis Premier this year for Vinery when purchased by Global.

Base Paradise produced a More Than Ready (USA) filly last spring and was then covered again by Teofilo, who has enjoyed much success in recent weeks as the sire of Humidor, Happy Clapper and Palentino.

Brazuca is the 63rd stakes-winner worldwide for Teofilo and looms as a future Group I winner.
