🏆 GETORIX PRINCESS, FROM PROMISING PROSPECT TO PROVEN WINNER!🏆

Getorix Princess, a 2025 graduate, is beginning to show exactly why so much was expected of her!

Beautifully bred by Greenacres Trust, this filly was purchased for R3,250,000 by Khaya Stables at the 2025 National Yearling Sale, she carries the colours of her owners for trainer, Dean Kannemeyer.

After an encouraging debut, where she finished 3rd, Getorix Princess returned today for her second career start and delivered an effortless, confident victory under the skilful hands of jockey, Craig Zackey. 🏇

We are incredibly proud to have given her the grounding she deserves!

Congratulations to all connections involved. 🤝👏
