KZN Mare, Weanling, HIT, Yearlings and Fillies For Stud Sale Results
The KZN Mare, Weanling, HIT, Yearlings and Fillies For Stud Sale took place on 4 July at the Royal Agricultural Show grounds and saw 50 horses catalogued.
The mare prices were topped with Spring Valley’s dam of 8-time winner including a Gr3 Kinematic Countess – National Navigator – sold for R100 000 in foal to Capetown Noir. The daughter of National Emblem out of a Rocky Marriage/Lords mare has produced four winners to date from five foals, and descends from the damline of Yentl and Oliver Twist.
The second highest went to a lovely chestnut mare consigned by Clifton Stud – a daughter of Tiger Ridge named Queen Kastanea, in foal to Irish Flame (by Dynasty) sold for R90 000 to Summerhill Stud. Her dam is a half-sister to the dam of Futura and she would make a great addition to the book of new Dynasty sire, Act Of War, standing at Summerhill Stud.
The third mare to make an impression was Dreams And Fancies, from the famous dynasty of Spring Valley Stud that produced Silver Flyer, Malinga and Indiscreet Fantasy. The daughter of Fort Wood out of Fancy Fantasy, the dam of Indiscreet Fantasy, sold for R70 000. She is in foal to the very exciting Noble Tune.
The top priced yearling was for an eyecatching AP Answer colt named Business Jet, out of Just Jettin’ Along, knocked down for R37 000. His dam is closely related to Madame Dubois. Two weanlings each sold for R30 000 – one by Toreador out of Blushing Polly by Jallad from the family of Flaming Reality and Green Crest, and the other out of Secret Babe from Clifton Stud. This is the mare’s second produce.
