Cartier Gr2 Sceptre Stakes

Lady luck finally smiled on the Trippi filly October Morn at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on Saturday.

With a few hard-luck stories at her recent outings, the Listed Perfect Promise Sprint winner showed her class as things went her way for a change, and she finished best to achieve a career peak success in the R400 000 Cartier Gr2 Sceptre Stakes.

David Abery, who bred the winner in partnership with Avontuur, bought out his partners two runs ago and got his just rewards on Saturday with a scopy athlete who must have Gr1 aspirations after this cracking win.

Settled early by Winning Form jockey Raymond Danielson in the sixteen-horse stampede, October Morn (7-1) weaved her way through after a moment of anxiety, to hold off a thundering late charge from 33-1 shot Asiye Phambili under Piere Strydom.

The diminishing winning margin was 0,30 lengths and the winner’s time for the 1200m was 72,93 secs.

Gr2 Southern Cross Stakes winner Kwinta’s Light (25-2) was back in third, with Shantastic (33-1) rounding off the Hollywood Syndicate dominated quartet.

By Trippi (End Sweep) the Candice Bass-Robinson-trained October Morn was bred by Avontuur and David Abery out of the Gr1 producing Var mare, Miss October.

Now a winner of 4 races with 5 places from 9 starts, October Morn took her stakes bank to R627 513.

This was a second feature success on the afternoon for Avontuur, after Thunderstruck won the Winchester Sprint Cup.

Enjoy the replay:

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!
