Champion Princess Victoria confirmed she has no equal
amongst her contemporaries when she scored yet another
emphatic victory, her fifth on the trot. Starting at the
prohibitive odds of 1-5, Glen Kotzen’s Champion tracked
long-time leader Trinity House into the straight and,
although the Captain Al filly refused to buckle, she could
not withstand the sustained challenge mounted by the
favourite, who took the lead at the furlong mark and ran on
strongly to register her third Gr.1 victory.
Runner-up to Trinity House on her debut, Princess
Victoria has not looked back since and earned the title of
Champion Juvenile Filly, having lit up a season capped by
Gr.1 victories in the prestigious Allan Robertson
Championship and the Durban Golden Slipper.
Following a deserved rest, she returned to action early
last month and picked up right where she left off, running
her foes into the ground with a powerful display in the Gr.2
Choice Carriers Championship.
The dark bay is racing’s newest millionaire with earnings
of R1,351,545 to go with a near perfect formline of five
wins and a second from as many starts.
Princess Victoria was bred by part-owners Maine
Chance Farms and is the first and only Gr.1 winner sired
by the stud’s now sadly deceased stallion Victory Moon.
Purchased by her trainer for R325,000 at the 2010 BSA
National Yearling Sale, Princess Victoria is out of
Platinum Princess, whose four winners from as many
runners include the Gr.3-placed Asian Affair, sired by
Classic winner The Sheik, who like Victory Moon (and
Captain Al), is a son of Al Mufti.
A half-sister to the Gr.3 winner and Gr.1-placed Cup Of
Grace (Royal Chalice) and to the Stakes-placed
Decorum (Dominion Royale), Platinum Princess is out of
the New Zealand-bred Platinum Lady, a five-time winner
in South African and fourth in the Gr.3 Rupert Ellis Brown

Plate. This is a New Zealand family strongly associated
with one of the stalwarts of the South African turf, the late
Laurie Jaffee, who raced the Champion Three-Year-Old
Filly Petrava (Imposing), a half-sister to Precious
Platinum, the third dam of Princess Victoria.
Petrava was to achieve lasting fame as the dam of two
distinguished Jaffee colour bearers, the Champion Filly
Hoeberg (Maroof) and more significantly, the Gr.2 winner
and leading South African stallion Jallad (Blushing
Groom). Appropriately, the latest Champion from this
exceptional family is part-owned by the Jaffee children
and sports their parents’ distinctive silks.
