South Cape was bred at our stud in Sussex
and was the first foal from our mare Aunt Ruby. He is a winner of 9
races and £110,000 in prize money as well as being a regular at
Royal Ascot he has been in the winners enclosure many times
including the ROCKINGHAM at York (a listed race). in 2010 he
won for us at Nottingham and Ascot, both races over a mile and has
been a revelation at this distance this
season.
In fact, it was possibly his best season
yet because he was also placed at Goodwood twice, Windsor and
Ascot. At Ascot in September he finished a head second, beating
subsequent Cambridgeshire winner Credit Swap into third. His latest
win at Nottingham on 27th October 2010 was in a race he won the
previous year, but this year he won off a handicap mark 7lb
higher.
The horse didn't fire in 2011 and we had
thought he was possibly coming towards the end of his career.
However time revealed he had aaggravated old injury and after the
winter off he is back cantering as good as new! He has dropped down
the handicap to 68 but he is still working with enthusiasm on the
gallops so fingers crossed he will return to form in 2012 and end
his fantastic career on a high!
