Stakes Potential for Maurice South African Winner

Tara Madgwick - Thursday November 17

Arrowfield Stud shuttler Maurice (Jpn) has a smart mare in South Africa in lightly raced four year-old Whoa Whoa Whoa, who scored her fourth victory at Kenilworth on Wednesday .

Trained by Brett Crawford for Ridgemont Stud, Whoa Whoa Whoa was favourite for the 1200m fillies and mares progress plate over 1200m and scored a tenacious win.

With four wins and a second from seven starts, Whoa Whoa Whoa is building a tidy record.


A homebred for Ridgemont, Whoa Whoa Whoa is a half-sister to Group II winner Kitty Cat Chat (Press Statement) and is the second foal and second winner for stakes-winning Fast ‘n’ Famous mare What’s New Pussycat (NZ), a half-sister to stakes-winner Seaway.

What’s New Pussycat (NZ) was exported from Australia in 2019.

Maurice has no Australian bred yearlings for the 2023 sales.

Whoa Whoa Whoa is the only runner so far in South Africa for Maurice, who has no Australian bred yearlings for 2023 sales having missed his 2020 stud season at Arrowfield due to Covid.
