Mauritzfontein’s well performed stallion Danon Platina came up with an eye catching debut winner on Tuesday.
His newly turned three-year-old daughter Party Girl made the perfect start to her career when she won the first race at Fairview.
Under S’Manga Khumalo, the Alan Greeff trained Party Girl hit the front 100m from home in the Welcome To Nelson Mandela Bay Maiden Plate (1300m) and stayed on to score by a short-head.
It was a good effort from Party Girl, who was very green in running.
Bred by Ridgemont Highlands, Party Girl races for Hollywood Racing.
Tuesday’s winner is out of the Tapit mare Still Tappin.
Her sire Danon Platina, Japan’s Champion 2YO Colt of 2014, had a fine season in 2024-2025 where his flagbearers included the graded stakes winners Absolutely Yes, Great Plains and White Pearl.
The son of legendary racehorse and sire Deep Impact ended last season fourth on South Africa’s Leading Sires of 2YOs premiership when Danon Platina was responsible for 11 two-year-old winners.
Also the sire of 2025 G1 Douglas Whyte Thekwini Stakes runner up Tina Lovelace, Danon Platina has 16 lots on offer at the 2025 August Two Year Old Sale, including a full-sister (Lot 22) to the smart Versace Onthetrack.
