Lots to like

Karin's Legacy enjoyed the extra

There was a lot to like about Karin's Legacy's Maiden win at the Vaal on 27 October.


The three-year-old filly by Crusade has shown up thereabouts over 1450m and 1600m, but came into her own over 1800m by stretching away easily for a 3.75-length win under Marco van Rensburg.


"This was encouraging, Karin's Legacy won with authority today and on the evidence of this run we can look forward to a nice career for her," said Corne Spies. "I think she'll do even better when we start racing her over 2000m and further."


Karin's Legacy is a home-bred owned by stalwarts David and Metta Makins, raised at Breedon Stud. She was named in honour of their late daughter.
