Aussie Group Two Quinella in South Africa

Tara Madgwick - Sunday May 3
The Group II Korea Racing Authority Guineas at Greyville in South Africa on Saturday saw two Aussie bred three year-olds fight out the finish with blue-blooded Lonhro colt The Conglomerate prevailing over Mac de Lag, a son of Encosta de Lago.

Prepared by Joey Ramsden for Markus Jooste and his wife, The Conglomerate strode clear at the finish to win the 1600 metre feature by two lengths, taking his overall record to five wins from eight starts.

The Conglomerate as a yearlingAlready a Group III winner, The Conglomerate is living up to his pedigree as he is from $1.5 million earner Republic Lass, who also won a Group I STC Ranvet Stakes to go with her Oaks victory.

Bred and offered for sale by Tyreel Stud, The Conglomerate was purchased for $160,000 from Inglis Premier by Global Bloodstock / Mayfair Speculators.

Bred by Dean Fleming, The Conglomerate is the best of five winners from five to race for Canny Lad mare Republic Lass, who was sold at the Tyreel Stud Dispersal at the Inglis Australian Broodmare Sale in Sydney last year for $105,000.

Republic Lass produced a filly by Sepoy for her new owners last year and is now in foal to Choisir.
