Putney Flyer, a big handsome dark bay son of Miesque's Approval standing at Scott Bros, won the Kenilworth Cup Listed over 3200m at Kenilworth on Saturday.

Out of Fort Wood mare Tiptoethruthewoods, Putney Flyer was bred by Mr JF Van Streepen, trained by Darryl Hodgson and owned by Hassan Adams. A R100 000 2010 National Yearling Sales graduate, consigned by Bosworth Farms, Putney Flyer has earned R426 785 in stakes.

The six year old gelding has been consistent in his form, winning three times and placing 18 times - including three lengths off Puntas Arenas in the Gr3 Winter Derby, the Gr3 Cape Summer Stayers Handicap, two lengths off in the Gr2 J&B Jet Stayers, as well as fourth in the Gr2 Gold Vase behind Kolkata.

Under jockey Gerrit Schlechter, Putney Flyer won by three quarters of a length from Silvano gelding Gothic with Desert Swirl (by former KZN resident sire Second Empire), finishing up in third place.

Miesque's Approval is consistently seen in the top 10 National Sires Log by stakes earned, recently having a Gr2 winner with Scott Bros-bred Judicial.


Gr1 Vodacom Durban July placed Eton Square continues to race in Hong Kong under the name Eton Blitz, whilst Melson recently placed third in the KZN Guineas Trial.

Approval Rating, also out of an Al Mufti/Fort Wood mare, is a five-time winner including the Zimbabwean Guineas Listed, has been entered into the Gr2 Merchants to be run on 29th November at Turffontein.

Judicial has put his name forward strongly on the list of favourites for the Gr1 Summer Cup as well as J's Outsider, accepted to run in the Gr3 Racing Association Handicap over 3200m.

A winner of the Gr1 Breeders Cup Mile and voted Champion Turf Colt in 2006, Miesque's Approval stands for a fee of R35 000 this season.
