Fast start for Cape Town Noir

Ken Nicol: Former Cape Guineas, Derby and Queens Plate winner Cape Town Noir made a great start to his stud career when his very first runner won the opener at Fairview today.


Brandina started at 6-1 as Alan Greeff stable mate Andrea went off 13-10 favourite.

Up against colts in this 800m scurry, she always raced in touch, and found a good finish to win going away by a length and a quarter.

Brandina is the fifth foal to race and second winner produced by Var mare Bedouin, who won a solitary race herself.

I have no doubt he will be a top stallion -I begged trainer mate to buy some for his patrons but...just like Kitalpha years ago people would rather go for the hype rather than common sense. This horse will bring speed into play with his babies - Local is lekker
