Graeme Hawkins once again did the honours as auctioneer on behalf of Michael Holmes Bloodstock, with buyers from across the country descending on the leading stud farm in South Africa to find another of the likes of No Worries, Tomorrow’s Miss and Flyfirstclass, graduates of this sale in the past recent years.
The current KZN Breeders Club Board is as follows: Koos de Klerk (Vice Chairman), Bruce Le Roux, Roy Moodley, Linda Norval, Anton Procter, Warwick Render, Keith Russon and Lee Scribante (Chairman).
The first entries closed in December and the growth of the KZN Breeders Race Day, one of the biggest on Gold Circle’s racing calendar after the Vodacom Durban July by stakes on offer, has increased incredibly each year – this is the third year running and saw an astounding 913 entries received for horses that are of two years of age and up. Our first entries in 2013 for the KZN Breeders Series saw over 600 horses entered in the first year.
