The winners keep coming for Iffraaj

Europe’s leading first-season sire takes his total to an outstanding 27

Iffraaj, who by mid August had sired more winners than any other first-season sire previously, added yet another winner to his total on 25 August when Man Of The Match was victorious over seven furlongs at Ayr.

Making all under Robert Winstone, Man Of The Match picked up the pace two furlongs out and held off the challenge of Red Riverman to prevail by a neck.

Bred by Michael Dalton, he is out of the G3-placed multiple winner Dance Clear (Marju), who has now produced four winners.

Iffraaj is also sire of three Black type performers in Free Art, King David and Zacynthus, plus the highly-regarded unbeaten colt Wootton Bassett.
