Owner Gavin Jooste's good run of winners continues. His filly Above The World led from gun to tape for her first win over 1000m at the Vaal on Thursday, 1 December. Marco van Rensburg, still at the top of his game, steered her to victory.

Corne Spies noted: "Above The World is on the small side and she just gets 1000m, but she has good pace and I think she's a nice type that can win again. She's by Captain Of All from Twinkle Star, a full-sister to our filly What You Are, who won the Listed Devon Air Stakes and was second to Cockney Pride in the G2 Golden Slipper. Both were bred by Terry Andrews at Sorrento.

"Gavin bought Above The World and the talented Flowerbomb at the Bloodstock SA Cape Sale and he's had a good return on his investment, on the pair. We are pleased for him and his pattonage is valued, we're hoping for many more!"
