Mauritzfontein’s high-class stallion Ideal World came up with a double on Thursday when his daughters Dimako’s Jet and Precocious won races four and eight respectively.
The Weichong Marwing trained Dimako’s Jet picked up the fifth win of her career when she won Thursday’s Racing Today FM 91 Divided Handicap (1800m).
Well positioned early on, the five-year-old struck the front close home and stayed on strongly to win by nearly a length and a half.
Bred and owned by Messrs P T & P Dimakogiannis, Dimako’s Jet has won or placed in 16 of her starts.
The mare, who is out of the Jet Master mare Jet Mark, is bred on the same Ideal World/Jet Master cross as Horse Of The Year Rainbow Bridge.
Ideal World struck again when his daughter Precocious won Thursday’s Next Vaal Racemeeting Tuesday 10 February MR74 Apprentice Handicap.
The Tony Peter trained three-year-old made it back to back wins when she drew clear to score convincingly by three and a half lengths.
Bred by Oldlands Stud, Precocious has won two of five starts for Kestorm Investments.
Her sire Ideal World, whose progeny include this season’s G1 Betway Summer Cup winner Mocha Blend, is from the same female line as Juddmonte’s exciting young sire Lead Artist.
It was recently announced that the G1 winning Lead Artist would shuttle to Arrowfield Stud.
