SOMERSET WEST (USA) wins the Del Mar San Clemente H., Gr.2.

The damline is well named.



 

......breeder Keith Abrahams is an ex-South African.....and went to the USA as a 21 yr old many moons ago....started with a 50% share in his foundation mare named And Guess What..... from that he has had general success in a line of her female off spring, mainly named after places in South Africa.....

Owner/breeder Keith Abrahams was quietly confident in Kirstenbosch ahead of last weekend’s Grade 3 La Canada Stakes at Santa Anita. The filly, named for a famous botanical garden in Abrahams’ native South Africa, proved his confidence was not misplaced when she won by a nose. Kirstenbosch became the second homebred graded stakes winner to race in Abrahams’ colors, quite a feat for a small-scale breeder who keeps only three to five mares at any given time.
