Sandown Offer Regally Bred Vercingetorix Colt

Dean Kannemeyer and his SA champion jockey elect Keagan de Melo got the World Pool Gold Cup day feature programme under way in fine style at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday when the Rafeef colt Outlaw King ran on powerfully to win the R250 000 Tabgold Gr2 Umkhomazi Stakes.

Tracking the pacy Icy Blast all the way round, De Melo called for an effort at the 250m marker and Outlaw King powered home to hold a quality field at bay. It was another big day victory for the successful DK Racing Syndicate.

Outlaw King (9-4) ran on well to beat Gauteng raider Ready To Charge (4-1) by 0,30 lengths in a time of 70,14 secs. Recent debut winner Tail Of The Comet (2-1) caught the eye in third.

Bred by James Armitage and consinged via Sandown Stud, the R300 000 National Yearling Sale graduate is a son of exciting Ridgemont Redoute’s Choice stallion Rafeef out of the four-time winning Greys Inn mare, Way Of Escape.

The dam won up to 2000m and Keagan de Melo seemed confident the colt will go further. So there is scope for plenty of fun in the SA Champions Season.

Outlaw King has won 3 races from 6 starts with 2 places and took his stakes bank to R654 500.
