The Turffontein meeting in South Africa on Saturday produced two Aussie bred winners with Alfolk capturing the Group III Lebelo Sprint, while royally bred Street Cry (IRE) colt Mutrib won on debut to become the sixth winner from six to race from blue hen Dane Belltar.

Alfolk as a yearlingA three time winner and stakes-placed twice previously, the Mike de Kock trained three year-old Lonhro gelding Alfolk soared to a new level when winning this 1000 metre sprint by a lengh and a quarter beating older horses.

Alfolk is the 70th stakes-winner for Darley's champion sire Lonhro , who has just four entries for Magic Millions.
