#KZNYearlingSale#KZNBred#KZNQuality#MwetwoodStud

Clifton, the breeders of current Equus Champion 2YO filly Mrs Geriatrix, presented another classy draft at the final sale of the year, and their beautiful and appropriately named What A Winter filly sold for R375 000 to Scott Gaskell, a great supporter of the Rosetta based farm owned by Peter and Jenny Blyth. This was the top price for a #kznbred at the sale and for the top priced filly from the province.

Winter Miracle was presented as Lot 77, by What A Winter out of Crusade’s 2-time multiple Listed winner (4 wins in total), Covered In Snow. Incredibly, the two year old bay filly was born during the heavy snowfall of that year at Clifton Stud which attracted much social media attention.

She descends from a Clifton family that has stood the farm in good stead, that of Glenrossal, Marygold and Joshua’s Crown.

Blue Sky Thoroughbreds presented another sterling draft, and their top selling colt of the province was Lot 35, sold to Fabian Habib for R340 000. Named Rafa’s Choice, the juvenile colt is out of a Stratum mare from the family of Singapore champion Better Than Ever and sire Parade Leader.

Blue Sky Thoroughbreds topped the KZN Breeders at the sale overall, averaging R151 250 for all 16 Lots consigned, of which 100% were sold.

Congratulations to the buyers and thank you to the underbidders for their support.

Brett Van Laun is over the moon with Camargue Stud’s draft for the 2023 November Two Year Old Sale. Camargue will be offering buyers the chance to buy two-year-olds sired by the likes of Act Of War, Captain Of All, Erupt and Querari to name but four.

Brett is particularly keen on Captain’s Dynasty (Lot 84), a colt by Captain Of All out of the twice winning Dynasty mare Desroches. This colt, who is from the immediate family of G1 Wilgerbosdrift HF Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes winner MK’s Pride, is “a smart colt who walks like a cat”.

The Querari filly (Lot 102) out of the smart racemare Felicity Flyer is certainly bred to be precocious. A daughter of a twice leading sire of two-year-olds, this “is a precocious filly whose mother won the first baby race of the season and she could follow in her steps!”

Camargue will also be offering a choicely bred colt (Lot 137) by Cape Guineas winner Act Of War out of former Equus Champion, and G1 Allan Robertson Fillies Championship winner Legally Blonde, with this colt a three-parts brother to the smart Act Of War sired gelding Blonde Act.

Buyers can find Camargue’s draft for this year’s November Sale in Block E at the TBA Complex in Germiston.

The 2022-2023 racing season was a memorable one for Clifton Stud. The KZN farm ended that South African season responsible for 29 winners of 44 races last season, with Clifton’s flagbearers of 2022-2023 headed by G3 Godolphin Barb Stakes winner Cliff Hanger and the brilliant Mrs Geriatrix.

The latter, Equus Champion 2YO Filly of 2022-2023, went unbeaten in five starts at two, when Mrs Geriatrix captured all of the G1 Allan Robertson Championship, G2 Zulu Kingdom Explorer Golden Slipper, G2 World Sports Betting SA Fillies Nursery and Listed Ruffian Stakes. The daughter of Vercingetorix has since gone on to make a winning three-year-old when she captured the Bloodstock SA Sales Cup (Fillies) most recently.

Clifton Stud will be bringing a smart draft of 12 two-year-olds to the 2023 November Two Year Old Sale, with this draft including lots sired by the likes of Act Of War, Danon Platina, Fire Away, Master Of My Fate, New Predator, One World, and What A Winter.

Understandably, Peter Blyth is confident of a good showing at the upcoming BSA auction, and Peter picked out a few potential stars from his draft worth keeping an eye on.

Lot 77 Winter Miracle f By What a Winter – Covered In Snow
A really lovely racey, well balanced filly.

Lot 83 Gun Barrel c Fire Away – Daphne Garland
By Fire Away, who is really coming to the fore as a sire. He is a late foal but is developing all the while. A half brother to Jaimala, who was an acceptor to last year’s Summer Cup and on his way up, unfortunately he passed away a week before the event. This colt has a smart female line. A racey medium sized colt who will develop into a smart horse.

Lot 89 Lady Platina f Danon Platina – Duchessofmarmalade
She is a lovely filly. A good walker, by Danon, say no more!

Lot 119 c One World – Greendale
By One World who is a popular sire. This colt is out of a Captain Al mare and he was a nice looking yearling.

Clifton’s draft for the November Sale can be found in Block E at the TBA Complex in Germiston.

Blue Sky Thoroughbreds (Pty) Ltd will be offering two-year-olds sired by some of South Africa’s most exciting stallions around.

This draft includes two-year-olds sired by the likes of Danon Platina, Lancaster Bomber, Rabada, Rafeef, Querari and What A Winter to name but a few.

Japanese champion Danon Platina is represented here by a colt (Lot 17) whose dam won seven and ran third in the G2 Gold Circle Oaks, while consistently successful sire Querari is the sire of a filly (Lot 101) whose dam won four times and hails from the family of G1 Cape Fillies Guineas winner Indiscrete Fantasy.

Dual G1 winner Rabada has two lots on offer, including a colt (Lot 44) out of G3 Umzimkhulu Stakes runner up Twice As Smart, while the sensational Rafeef’s sole offering is Rafa’s Choice (Lot 35), a colt from the family of champions Better Than Ever, Wavering Girl, Singspiel and Glorious Song.

Lancaster Bomber’s death was a major setback to the South African thoroughbred industry and that G1 winning son of War Front is responsible here for a filly (Lot 51) whose dam is a winning half-sister to Hong Kong G3 winner Chefano.

Buyers can find Blue Sky Thoroughbreds’ consignment in Block C at the TBA Complex in Germiston.

Blue Sky Thoroughbreds presented a draft that had something for everyone, and saw their outstanding Legislate colt sold as Lot 213 to Snaith Racing for R450 000.

A handsome and spirited bay colt, he is a half brother to 5-time winner Luna Wish, from the family of American Graffiti.

The top selling filly also came from Bruce Le Roux and Tinus Gericke’s Blue Sky Thoroughbreds, with Red Sparrow, an Act Of War half sister to Gr2 winner Gimme A Shot bred by the late Mr Kevin Seal, knocked down for R300 000 to Triple 8 Clothing. This is the family of Loofah, Light Of The Moon and Lucky Find.

Gary and Colleen De Klerk’s Summerview Stud sold a balanced and attractive filly Miss Munroe for R200 000 to Bobby Rajhununan. A daughter of Lancaster Bomber, the late son of War Front who enjoyed a double at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday, this is the family of Hidden Beauty, Sunset Tripp, Victory Moon and Imperious Star.

In form sire Rabada sold one Lot, a daughter of Listed and 5-time winner Just Chaos, for R140 000.

Blue Sky sold all 14 of their Lots presented for sale for an aggregate of R2-million.

Winnie Fourie’s Grace Stables top price saw a Potala Palace filly sell for R90 000 from the family of Horse Chestnut, destined for Zimbabwe’s Debbie Swanson.

KZN’s Jane Thomas was active at the sale as a buyer, listed in the top 3 after purchasing 10 Lots for an average of R419 000 each.

Following the general trend of strong prices and a solid middle market which has been felt in South Africa this year, the August Two Year Old Sale showed marked increases in both aggregate and average, while just 12 horses failed to find new homes at the sale.

The aggregate rose from R48 975 000 in 2023 to R59 690 000 this year, with the average increasing from R220 608 to R244 631, and the median rose accordingly from R140 000 to R160 000.

Congratulations to all.
