Joey Ramsden confirmed yesterday from Durbanville racecourse that his crack four-year-old filly, Mother Russia, has been sold and had joined the Mike de Kock yard.
Mother Russia won six stakes races with Ramsden over distances from 1 400m to 2 000m including the Grade 1 Majorca Stakes over 1 600m, the Grade 2 Gold Bracelet over 2 000m and the Grade 2 Odessa Stud Fillies Championships over 1 400m.
Ramsden said, “I would like to wish the new owners everything of the best with her.”
Wonder Lawn is another Cape horse that has recently joined the De Kock yard.
This former Dean Kannemeyer-trained six-year-old gelding remains the highest-priced yearling ever sold in South Africa at R3,3 million.
His best achievements to date have been a win in the Grade 3 Peninsula Handicap over 1 800m as a four-year-old and a second placed finish to Jay Peg in the Grade 2 Selangor Cup over 1 600m as a three-year-old.
