What A Winter, a four-time Gr.1 winner and an unrivalled force, is currently taking the racing scene by storm.

The scorching momentum continues as What A Winter’s daughter, Distant Winter, blazes a trail of victory in the recent Gr.3 Winter Nursery at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth, adding to her sire’s remarkable run. As of now, What A Winter claims a well-deserved second position on the South African General Sires List for the season, with his progeny earning an impressive R13.241 million in 2022-2023. Boland Stud, renowned for presenting exceptional talents to the racing world, proudly offers a filly by this world-class stallion at the KZN Sale. Bred on parallel lines to the remarkable Boland-bred performer, Princekresh, this filly emerges from a scorching female lineage.

She descends from a three-time winning half-sister to the Gr.2 SA Fillies Nursery victor, Hidden Beauty, and the Gr.3 Secretariat Stakes runner-up, Hidcote Ridge. Delving deeper into her pedigree unveils an illustrious lineage, including the Met-winning champion Imperious Sue and her Gr.1 Woolavington 2000-winning daughter, Imperious Star. Among the ranks of this esteemed family are the likes of this season’s Gr.1 Hollywoodbets Cape Guineas third-place finisher, At My Command, and the promising two-year-old, Siddeley. Furthermore, this family boasts the presence of the impressive stallion, Gr.1 Cape Guineas winner William Longsword, and his close relative, Gimme A Prince. Gimme A Prince has undoubtedly established himself as one of the season’s finest competitors, triumphing in both the Gr.1 Pongracz Cape Flying Championship and the Gr.2 Cape Merchants, while also finishing a close second in the Gr.2 Khaya Stables Diadem Stakes and the Gr.2 Independent On Saturday Drill Hall Stakes. Future Pearl, an exciting three-year-old, recently stormed to a facile three and a quarter-length victory in the Gr.3 World Sports Betting Gold Bowl, while Bureau Des Legende claimed the title of Listed Jacaranda Handicap queen.
