Taimazov also won the G1 Gran Premio Suipacha over 1000m in 55.42 seconds and
the G2 Classico Pippermint over 1000min 57.29 seconds, further evidence of his

Taimazov’s sister Igreja raced in South Africa where she won the G1 Cape
Fillies Guineas.
Taimazov is booked to land in Australia in April and will join G1 winners Easy
Rocking and Mr Innocent at Wattle Brae Stud.
