First foal by William Longsword

Born at 5am on Sunday morning was a lovely colt foal from Klawervlei Stud’s first-season stallion William Longsword – his first progeny to see daylight!

The colt is a son of the Grade 1 Jet Master mare Fly By Night, who herself was sold in foal for R1,3million to dissolve a partnership at a Central Route Trading Sale in March this year.

Trained by Vaughan Marshall, William Longsword had rocketed to prominence when winning the big Cape classic, and then stuck to the script as he notched his sixth win from eight starts in impressive style to take his career earnings to over R4 million.
