Another Feature Win for Driefontein

A $75,000 Magic Millions purchase for Star Thoroughbreds from the Widden Stud draft, Fastnet Rock mare Driefontein provided her connections with another big thrill when taking out the $200,000 Fillies and Mares event at the Gold Coast on Saturday.

The Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner in 2012, the Gai Waterhouse trained mare was presented in sparkling order for this assignment and took the 1300 metre contest by a neck, her overall record now six wins and five placings from 20 starts with prizemoney topping $1.8 million.

Driefontein was bred by Bylong Park Thoroughbreds and is one of five winners for slick stakes-winner Follow Gold, a sister to another speedy juvenile stakes-winner in Export Gold.
