“Finally I managed a milestone for Hollywood Racing!” enthused a delighted Sean Veale after he put it all together at the 5-4 favourite’s third start with a thrilled salute at the line.
Veale rode a balanced race in perfect sunshine weather down the 1000m straight, and was always in the firing line on the Vaughan Marshall-trained 2yo filly before drawing off to beat the 3-1 shot Du Maurier in a time of 59,13 secs.
The winner is out of the three-time winning Captain Al mare Latifah and was purchased for R300 000 at the BSA Cape Yearling Sale.
One Voice took her tally to a win with 2 places from her 3 starts for gross stakes of close on R100 000.

There were Hollywood Racing milestone awards all round, with winning jockey Sean Veale and trainer Vaughan Marshall picking up R10 000 apiece, while Groom Themba Ndzweni earned R2 000 and commentator Alistair Cohen capped a happy call with his R2 500 bonus.
“Thank you to all the jockeys, trainers, grooms, breeders and race-callers that have been involved in Hollywood Racing reaching our century of winners this season. We couldn’t do it without you! We now need to break our record of 124 winners in a season,” added Hollywood Racing Manager, Anthony Delpech.
Sean Veale is on 99 winners in what will be his best season in over 22 years in the saddle.
Hollywood Racing currently head the SA Champion owner log.
