CAPE TOWN - Odds-on favourite One Stripe made his bid for glory up the outside rail, accelerating past Eight On Eighteen and Great Plains to win the 2 million rand (S$151,000) Group 1 Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas (1,600m) at Kenilworth on Dec 14.
The victor is a son of new stallion sensation, One World out of the Silvano mare Silver Stripe, and is, fittingly, trained by Vaughan Marshall, who also handled the Group 1-winning sire with aplomb. The three-year-old colt was bred at Drakenstein Stud.
The early pace was torrid with All Our For Six and O'Tenikwa cutting the breeze, tracked by Heather's Boy. One Stripe was settled midfield, eventually turning into the 600m stretch in seventh place.
While Snaith Racing entries Eight On Eighteen and Great Plains were moving through strongly down the inside as the pace horses collapsed, Gavin Lerena angled One Stripe across the width of the course.
One Stripe's power of acceleration from the 400m again proved the difference between winning and losing as he triumphed by a length.
