Overwhelmed with all the kind wishes. Thanks all.
Didnt have a cent on but its all about the maiden win.
Hope the clan made some lolly even at 15/10.
In response to Justanotherpunter's pedigree question;
Zorba's Tale, Tale of the Cat x Tannakin (Alleged). Dam, three-quarter sister to Suavite (dam of Suave Dancer, who won 3 Grade 1 races, including the Arc de Triomphe).
Zorba was originally never going to be in SA but he contracted cholic and was taken off select Magicmillions Sale. Bought out my partners over there, after miscalculating the price and exchange rate, the lad arrived in SA. He cracked bone in pelvis at 1st trainer and looked doomed. Put the lad on the farm and let him chill. The recovery road was long and arduous but he recovered and ended up at another big trainer. I realized that i am just a small guy and relocated him to Lucky. Puzzlingly, he arrived there cripple and could barely get off the float.
After much care and psysio, he started walking, then cantering and slow work. With bated breath he made his debut and he came out of it sound and with much credit.
Its destiny with this horse and god willing he realizes his potential and keeps his family jewels.
A big thank you to Lucky and family, Anne, Claudia, grooms and all the well-wishers.
Ouzo ! ! !
