Northern European gave Xander and Corne Spies their fifth winner for the season when storming clear to win her Maiden on the tricky straight 1400m at the Vaal.She travelled beautifully behind the favourite before being produced at exactly the right moment, and once she found daylight, she powered away from the field - a brilliant performance under a masterful ride from Callan Murray.

The good momentum for August 2026 continued with a fourth win for the stable in the first month of the new season, courtesy of Mirum, who got off the mark with his Maiden success over 1600m at the Vaal on 27 August.

Following the BSA August Two-Year-Old Sale, we are delighted to offer ownership opportunities in three outstanding young horses personally inspected and selected by our team.

Trompe L'oeil makes it career win number two, then Spirit of Gabz does it again - two starts this season, two wins! The new partnership is off to an incredible start.

The Xander and Corne Spies-trained Trompe L'Oeil overcame a terrible start to cruise to victory at the Vaal - Gavin Lerena's cool ride sees him home by 1.90 lengths.
