The Candice Dawson trained Infamous Fox waved the flag for Australian breeding at Greyville's famous Durban July meeting last weekend
A 4YO son of Woodside Park stallion Foxwedge, Infamous Fox notched his second stakes victory in South Africa by capturing the Listed Engen Performance Stakes over 1600m.
Offered by Duncan Grimley's Glastonbury Farm, Infamous Fox was knocked down for only $25,000 at the 2016 Gold Coast Magic Millions Yearling Sale and has really done the job with eight wins and three placings from 21 starts.
Standing at Victoria's Woodside Park Stud for the first time in 2019 at a fee of $16,500, Foxwedge is the sire of 14 stakes winners.
He has had Group One winners in Australia, New Zealand and Ireland, a pair of stakes winners in South Africa, along with black type winners in Italy and Macau.
A full brother to the multiple winner and city placed La Renarde, Infamous Fox is out of the Nadeem mare French, a half sister to Caulfield Group winner Typhoon Billie, in turn the dam of 4-time stakes placed Eight Bills.
The Engen Performance also featured an impressive run from the lightly raced Crown Towers, who finished third behind Infamous Fox.
Having just his sixth start, the Mill Park consigned son of Camelot was sold for $280,000 at the 2017 Melbourne Premier Yearling Sale and clearly has a promising future for leading trainer Justin Snaith.
