More Aussie Stakes Success in South Africa

Tara Madgwick - Monday May 20
The Listed Syringa Handicap for fillies and mares at Turffontein in South Africa on Sunday was won by five year-old High Chaparral (IRE) mare Being Fabulous, a $60,000 Inglis Premier purchase for Heritage Bloodstock from the Grange Thoroughbreds draft.

Being Fabulous as a yearlingTrained by Johan Janse van Vuuren, Being Fabulous scored a head win in the 1600 metre contest and has now won five of 25 starts.

Another stakes-winner foaled and raised at Coolmore, Being Fabulous is a half-sister to stakes-placed Embley and Gaburin and is now the best of nine winners from dual Group I winner Dashing Eagle, who retired from stud duty in 2017.

She is the 129th stakes-winner worldwide for remarkable sire High Chaparral, whose legacy is continued in style by his sire sons So You Think and Dundeel.

Other Aussie bred winners on the program were Infamous Fox (4m Foxwedge x French) and Ashbaal (2c Stratum x Steal My Love), who was a $460,000 Inglis Easter purchase for Shadwell from the Widden Stud draft.

Trained by Mike de Kock, Ashbaal broke through at his third start after two previous placings.

The most expensive yearling by the late Stratum sold in 2018, he is pictured below and is a half-brother to Group winners Hattori Hanzo and Amorino and is the seventh winner from good producer Steal My Love, who died in 2017.
