The
Greyville meeting in South Africa on Wednesday produced an interesting winner
with the half-brother to in-form stakes-winning sprinter Monsieur Gustave
opening his account.
A four year-old gelding by Pluck (USA), Moon Shadow had been placed four times
previously and broke through for the Paul Lafferty stable with a head victory
over 1000 metres.
A $25,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Vinery draft for his trainer, Moon Shadow
is the fifth winner from Saigon Moonlight, a full sister by Stravinsky (USA) to
Group III winner Estelle Collection, the dam of Australian Horse of the Year
Lankan Rupee.
