Backworth-bred Talk Of The Town has changed ownership and didnt disappoint, winning his third on the trot forย Avontuur Estate (Pty) Ltd (Nom: Mr M J B Taberer), Mr K P Truter & Mrs Jane Truter on Friday at Kenilworth.

The KZN-bred with a stallions pedigree is a son of Var, out of the magnificent chestnut mare Street Wise (NZ), a daughter of Street Cry.

Talk Of The Town sold for R3-million at under Avontuur’s banner at theย CTSย Emperors Palaceย Select Yearling Sale and is trained by Joey Ramsden.

The backworth.co.za website says: “There is nothing like pressure and expectation to fuel interest and itโ€™s very early days to suggest he is a possible successor to his champion Dad โ€“ but there is a certain royalty about this handsome fellowโ€™s demeanor and he now has to go on and stamp his authority on the track.”

His great grand-dam is the outstandingย Nijinsky IIย mareย Dancing Showย – a half-sister to former South African Champion sire and broodmare sire, Northern Guest.

Dancing Showย is granddam of the greatย Redouteโ€™s Choiceย โ€“ sire ofย Rafeef, Wylie Hall, Time Thiefย andย Redouteโ€™s Promise, amongst others.
