The Michael Holmes Horses In Training Sale took place on Wednesday at the Durban Shongweni Club. The overcast weather with a bit of rain didnt deter the sale from being a full house of buyers, with plenty of trainers and buyers coming not only from KZN, but Gauteng and the Northern Cape.
The KZN-bred top seller was a beautiful Muhtafal colt sold as Lot 118, named Chosen Dash [pictured]. Bred and owned by Dr G Baitz and Mr Cecil Baitz, the bay colt has had only one run, winning first time out by just over seven lengths at 33/1 over 800m at Greyville.
Chosen Dash sold for R300 000, and looks to be a strong contender after being supplemented for the KZN Breeders Series of races for a stake of R200 000 each immediately after the sale. He will competing for a place in the juvenile race over 1200m on 28 June 2015.
