The Candyman last rode in Gqeberha on 19 May 2017, booting home the Sail From Seattle mare Perfect Tale also for trainer Alan Greeff, and it was a happy return after an eight year absence – and it couldn’t have been more of an armchair ride on the impressive Anotherdanceforme.
Relaxed two lengths off the gallop early, the Peter Moor-owned filly cruised into the lead at prohibitive odds of 5-10 at the 500m and lengthened to beat King Prawn (25-1) by 3,25 lengths in a time of 69,42 secs for the 1200m straight.
Course-and-distance debut winner Hot Sauce (3-1) was a quarter length back in third.
“She’s good enough to win in Durban,” quipped Andrew Fortune, who said ‘this is the type of horse I love to ride’.
“The sky’s the limit and she just needs to mature. I have some lovely 2yo’s this season and she is right up there with the best of them,” added Alan Greeff.
Now a winner of all her 4 starts for stakes of R303 750, the Varsfontein Stud-bred Anotherdanceforme is a daughter of Master Of My Fate (Jet Master) out of the unraced What A Winter mare Destiny Dancer. She is thus a full-sister to Listed Sweet Chestnut Stakes winner Princess Izzy.
She was a R650 000 buy from the 2024 National Yearling Sale.
This feature was shown on SABC Sport – something of a milestone moment in itself. We have no details of the background to that decision.
