Randjesfontein trainer Sean Tarry registered a quick non black-type 2yo feature double when the Moutonshoek-bred Tin Pan Alley relished the step up in trip to the 1400m and scored in the R175 000 Highveld Winter Juvenile Stakes at Turffontein on Sunday.

Tarry had saddled a 1-2 in the fairer sex equivalent earlier, and made it a 243-1 tote double when Tin Pan Alley, a son of The United States, stretched clear in the run for home and put 5,25 lengths between himself and King Harald (9-2) to clock 85,31 secs for the 1400m.
Third-placed Read All About It (6-1) was hampered halfway down the straight, but finished well a further 1,50 lengths back, with the handsome Chronicle King (7-1) well beaten in fourth.
The tote favourite Soho Heartthrob (6-1) never threatened and ran out of the money, some 10,25 lengths back.
A R500 000 National 2yo Sale purchase, Tin Pan Alley was bred by Moutonshoek and is by the farm’s resident Galileo stallion The United States out of the Querari mare, The Entertainer.
Now a winner of 2 races with 2 places from 4 starts, Tin Pan Alley took his stakes earnings to R205 158 for his owners Jarryd and Laurence Wernars, and Dayalan Chinsammy.
