Gary and Colleen De Klerk of Summerview Stud have welcomed their first foal from Mogok mare Sahara, a flashy filly by Master Of My Fate.

Summerview purchased the mare off the Scott Bros Dispersal Sale for R170 000 in foal to Crusade – Gary says the Crusade is a smashing individual who will be headed to the KZN Yearling Sale in 2020. Sahara is the dam of Gr1 placed and Stakes Winning Matador Man (Toreador).

Matador Man has earned R 1,514,700 in stakes, winning 7 times and placing 7 and preferring a mile. His wins include the Christmas Handicap Listed, winning the KZN Breeders Million Mike and the Secretariat Listed. He has also placed in a Gr1, Gr2 and Gr3.

Sahara in total has produced 5 foals and 4 winners, including Desert Fighter (3 wins) and Sand Princess (Crusade). She has a lovely 2017 unraced full sister to Matador Man to come through.

Gary advises that Sahara will be heading to Kimberley shortly to be covered by Mauritzfontein’s exciting grey Gr1 winning son of Deep Impact, Danon Platina.

Congratulations to all at Summerview Stud!

Visionaire Half-Sister To No Worries Winning Start

Visionaire’s beautiful grey daughter, a half-sister to No Worries, has won her fourth start for the Joey Ramsden racing stable at Kenilworth yesterday over 1600m, going away to win impressively by almost three lengths and earning from all four of her starts.

The filly named Malher De Branco (formerly Yoruba) is owned by Mr B P Finch, Mrs K Finch & Ridgemont Stud (Nom: Mr Craig Carey), and is Visionaire’s most expensive yearling to date – she sold for R1,4million at the 2014 National Yearling Sale, bred and consigned by Summerhill Stud.

She jumped from a fourth draw to win under Bernard Fayd’Herbe to win from Playboy Buddy and Lets Go Get It.

Her big chestnut Gr1 King’s Bishop Stakes winning sire Visionaire was crowned national Champion Freshman Sire for the last racing season and has already earned a double at Turffontein today with Redaire in the first and Heaps Of Fun in the fifth race.

No Worries, by Kahal and bred by Summerhill Stud, is owned by Brian Burnard and a winner of the Gr2 Joburg Spring Challenge, as well as the KZN Breeders Million Mile. He notably placed second by a nose to Vercingetorix in the Gr1 Daily News 2000, with Capetown Noir and Wylie Hall chasing him down.

He went on to place fourth behind Heavy Metal in the Vodacom Durban July, and finished two lengths off Futura in the Gr1 Beach Beauty Champions Cup, amongst his many Group places.

The dam Coastal Waltz by Rambo Dancer is out of Coastal mare Coastal Relative, a half-sister to Royal Tours.

Well done to all concerned.
