Smart filly, smart debut!

Staunch patrons received a 100k bonus!

Elegantrix made an eye-catching debut at Turffontein on Saturday, 1 February, slamming her rivals by 2,75-lengths under jockey Ryan Munger. She clocked 69,07s.


Elegantrix was supported on course by most members of her colourful owning partnership, TKP Racing (Pty) Ltd (Nom: Trevelen Pillay), Rob Macnab, Yagan Nair and Stergio Poriazis, with Braam van Huysteen watching from his Cape Town base. They paid R850,000 for her at the Bloodstock SA 2024 August Two-Year-Old Sale.


Munger said: "She is beautiful, a quality filly. She has a good temperament, went down well. It's pretty simple to ride horses like this."


"It's nice to see a whole bunch of owners here to see her win like a champion. It's always stressful when babies go out for the first time. I hope that we can get more nice horses for the partnership. Thanks to them, and thanks to our team at home," said Xander Spies.


Poriazis said he was pleased to see Tobie Spies trackside and explained: "When I saw uncle Tobie here I knew that this filly wouldn't get beat. Well done to the stable and partners, we're expecting big things from this filly."


Elegantrix was bred by Marsh Shirtliff's Greenacres Trust and David Hepburn Brown at Hemel & Aarde Stud. She is a half-sister to stakes-placed filly, Elegant Ice.


The partners received a lovely R100,000 sales bonus from BSA.
