Coin Spinner, a handsome ‘head spinner’ at the Nationals where he sold for R475 000, has made it three wins in a row for trainer Tony Rivalland and owners Messrs Sadha Naidoo,R Maingard & Mrs M D J Liley.

Under Keagan De Melo, the William Longsword colt won going away over 1200m.

He carries a wonderful female line with the likes of Redberry Lane, Solo Traveller, Flying Ice and Purple Diamond seen close up in the pedigree.

Out of Strawberry Line by Western Winter, the mare has a Willow Magic yearling to come through for breeders Blue Sky Thoroughbreds, who have purchased Yellow Star Stud to continue their breeding operation – a partnership of Tinus Gericke and Bruce Le Roux.

Blue Sky Thoroughbreds boasts a 50% winners to runners percentage for the current season from just six runners.

They have an immaculate draft coming up for the National Yearling Sale – including a Rafeef filly out of Gr2 winner A Woman’s Way, a Lancaster Bomber filly out of Trippi’s Girl and New Predator out of The Angelus – the previous two mares bred by Bruce Le Roux.

Coin Spinner may be one to follow come KZN’s Champions Season!

Blue Sky Thoroughbreds-bred Coin Spinner (William Longsword) made it two on the trot, winning impressively after breaking his maiden for trainer Tony Rivalland and owners Messrs Sadha Naidoo, Robert Maingard and Mrs M D J Liley.

Bred by the partnership of Bruce Le Roux and Tinus Gericke as Blue Sky Thoroughbreds, who are setting up shop at the former Yellow Star Stud, the handsome colt was an attraction at the National Yearling Sale and sold for R475 000.

Out of a Western Winter mare, he has a superb pedigree – his dam is an own-sister to Solo Traveller, Redberry Lane, Strawberry Ice and the dam of Flying Ice, finding the roots of the pedigree back to KZN with former Scott Bros import, Taineberry.

The gelding has only been out of the money on one occasion.

Well done to all concerned. Blue Sky have had 3 wins from six runners this season.
