The KZN Breeders have offered an incentive the KZN-bred horse that may win the KZN Yearing Sale Million this year, of an additional R200 000. Previous KZN-bred winners include Virgo’s Babe and last year’s winner, Cutting Edge.
Born and bred at our current National Champion Breeders Summerhill Stud, a beautifully-bred daughter of Kahal out of a Kingmambo mare stormed to victory in the Gr3 Track And Ball Oaks over 2400m at Scottsville today, and secured her future in the breeding paddocks.
In spite of inclement weather on the day, 31 four balls lined up and included a leading field of breeders, owners and trainers.
Backworth-bred Gr1 winning daughter of Kahal, Chocolicious, features once again in Australia as her second filly, a weanling by Australian sire sensation Fastnet Rock will go under the hammer at Magic Millions, on Monday in Book 1 of their weanling sale as Lot 230.
The first crops from Scott Bros’ respective stallions’ Crusade and Eightfold Path were well received at the recent National Yearling Sale, whilst Irish Flame and Await The Dawn sold one individual each for over R100 000.
