Egyptian Mau
Wilgerbosdrift & Mauritzfontein-bred Egyptian Mau (Fire Away (USA) x Savannah Cat by Fort Wood) returned from a six-month layoff in style to capture the Gr.3 Belmont Turf Sprint Stakes at Belmont Park.
Taking on the males, Egyptian Mau settled off the pace before finding a gap along the rail in the straight and finishing strongly under Antonio Fresu to get up by a neck. The victory marks her first U.S. Graded Stakes success and her second Graded victory, having previously won the Gr.3 HSH Princess Charlene Starling Stakes in South Africa.
The daughter of Wilgerbosdrift stallion Fire Away has now won four of 15 starts and is a half-sister to Gr.3 winner Cymric.

Congratulations to Team Valor International, Neil Drysdale, Antonio Fresu and all involved on a fantastic international success.
Pina Sonata (Pinatubo x Moonlight Sonata, by Galileo) produced an impressive performance at Doncaster on Saturday to land the Gr.3 Japan Racing Association Sceptre Fillies’ Stakes.
Taking on a competitive field of 19 fillies and mares, the four-year-old travelled strongly through the race before making smooth headway approaching the final two furlongs. She struck the front over a furlong from home and stayed on strongly to score by 1½ lengths.
The victory marks a first success at Group level for Pina Sonata, adding to her black-type credentials following her victory in the Listed Snowdrop Fillies’ Stakes at Kempton earlier this season.
Bred in England by Wilgerbosdrift (UK) Ltd and racing in the colours of Mrs Mary Slack, Pina Sonata is out of the Galileo mare Moonlight Sonata.
Congratulations to trainer James Fanshawe, jockey Daniel Muscutt and the entire team on a fantastic result.
