Futura Strikes Again

WSB Listed Scarlet Lady

On a memorable Sunday afternoon at Hollywoodbets Scottsville for the Dean Kannemeyer and Drakenstein teams, Keagan de Melo booted home a homebred feature double rounded up by a maiden stakes success for the Futura 4yo Dawnofanewday who won the R150 000 World Sports Betting Listed Scarlet Lady.

Drakenstein’s four-time Gr1 winning Dynasty stallion, and a former Horse Of The Year, Futura has shown that his progeny just need some time and Dean Kannemeyer confirmed that Dawnofanewday has strengthened and matured markedly in the past six months.

And she deservedly found her first stakes winning credit when staying on strongly up the outside at a generous 7-1 to get the better of the gallant long-time pacemaker Southern Cape (20-1) by 1,05 lengths in a time of 106,51 secs.

Gauteng visitor Supreme Quest (6-1) stayed on for third.

Dawnofanewday is out of the one-time winning Trippi mare, Dawn Rising. She has won 4 races with 12 places from 18 starts for stakes of R384 650.

Futura has 15 yearlings on the BSA National Yearling Sale this week.

The Enchanting Currency Of Fate

It is eerie to think that there would have been no Siren’s Call, Sound Of Warning, or for that matter Call To Unite, had fate not decreed that Enchanted Cove follow her dam to South Africa, and that Peter de Beyer had the foresight to return Elusive Fort back home from the States as well!
