Villandry, by VAR(USA) out of Amazon Lily, ridden by Felix Coetzee and trained by Vaughan Marshall made it a double on Saturday, 31 January by winning the R125 000 Lexus Summer Juvenile Stakes over 1000 m at Kenilworth in Cape Town.
The colt also won the Betting World Maiden Juvenile Plate at the same course last Saturday.
Commented Avontuur Estate GM, Pippa Mickleburgh, where he was born in 2006; “He ran beautifully and won easily and this win surely puts VAR in front of the first season sire’s list! We are very proud to see this result and look forward to many more of VAR’s progeny making waves on the world’s race tracks in future.”
