Australian bred horses have competed very successfully in South Africa over the years and a significant number of Aus bred mares are now at stud over there and one of them is the dam of talented four year-old Royal Aussie, who won the Group II Drill Hall Stakes (1400m) at Greyville in South Africa on Wednesday.

Exciting two-year-old Magice replicated the early feats of his Group One-winning relative with an impressive maiden victory at Matamata on Wednesday.
