Summerhill Stud has announced that Group 1 winner Act Of War (SAf) (Dynasty {SAf}-Si Senorita {SAf}, by Cordoba I) will join their roster of stallions at the KwaZulu-Natal stud. Raced by Ingrid and Markus Jooste and trained by Joey Ramsden, Act Of War emulated his sire Dynasty when he won the G1 Cape Guineas at Kenilworth last year and added the G3 Winter Guineas to his CV this year before a suspensory injury curtailed his racing career. “Act Of War was something special from day one,” said Derek Brugman, racing manager for the Jooste's Mayfair Speculators. “Horses that work like he did in the mornings, leave no uncertainty about their ability. He achieved a career high rating of 117 for the extreme ease with which he won the G1 Cape Guineas. This performance placed him on a par with the best sons of Dynasty in the land. He had such a phenomenal turn of foot that at one stage, we toyed with the idea of running him in a Group 1 sprint. He looks sure to pass his precocity, class and great temperament onto his offspring and we look forward to racing them in the near future,” added Brugman.
