After Brad McHardy won the KZN Breeders Golf Day in 2015, his older brother Devon took the Ben Jonsson Floating Trophy and a voucher of R5000 towards the purchase of a KZN-bred yearling at the upcoming Sibaya KZN Yearling Sale. Devon is the son of Mike and Tanya McHardy of Rathmor Stud.

The field included trainers Mike De Kock, owners, stipes, vets, breeders and representatives across the Board of the Thoroughbred industry.

The overall winners went to four-ball Yogan Chetty, Caddy Kalian, Morgan Naidoo and Rowan Pillay with a score of 96. A bright but very windy day at Royal Durban saw the golf day with a full field of 144 players become rather challenging, but an enjoyable day was had by all concerned.

Warren Lenferna and Paul Lafferty hosted the prizegiving which saw 11 vouchers for a total of R55 000 given away towards the purchase of KZN-bred yearlings at the upcoming Sibaya KZN Yearling Sale, as well as a service to Noble Tune for the value of R25 000 won by Arther Potts of Hillcrest.

Goodersons Leisure kindly sponsored a midweek getaway to Drakensburg Gardens Golf and Spa resort, whilst the KZN Breeders Club put forward R25 000 worth of prizes on the evening to the first 17 four-balls that took part.

A big thank you to the sponsors involved which included Equine Administration, Bloodstock South Africa, Abloy Locks, Executrade Promotions, Spring Valley Stud, Bush Hill Stud, Crusade Syndicate, Gold Circle and Goodersons Leisure.

Well done to all concerned and thank you for a wonderful day!

In spite of inclement weather on the day, 31 four balls lined up and included a leading line up of breeders, owners and trainers.

With almost R100 000 in prizes up for grabs, 10 people walked away with R5000 vouchers each towards the purchase of a KZN-bred yearling at the upcoming Sibaya KZN Yearling Sale including Mike De Kock – a sale that seen a multitude of Gr1 winners yielded, including KZN-bred Wild One and Graded Stakes winners’ Virgo’s Babe, Colour Of Courage and Royal Pleasure.

Other Gr1 winners include French based Happy Valentine, Triple Crown winner Louis The King, overseas-bound Same Jurisdiction and more recently the talented Red Chesnut Road.

A big thank you to our sponsors who assisted to make the day possible, which included Gold Circle, Track And Ball, Equine Administration, New Turf Carriers, Hollywood Bets, Abloy Locks, Executrade, La Bella Café, Martin Auctioneers, The Crusade Syndicate and the Flying The Flag syndicate.

Gold Circle’s television presenters and personalities – Warren Lenferna and Kevin Shea – hosted an entertaining prizegiving and included interviews with the greats in their respective fields, such as Michael Roberts, Mike De Kock and Springbok cricketer, David Miller – all of whom participated in the golf on the day.

Congratulations to the four-ball of Seelen Chetty who won overall with a score of 96.

An additional R4380 was raised on the evening towards the Coastal Horse Care Unit, including R1000 from Pippa Mickleburgh of Avontuur via the phone through one of their sponsored jockeys, MJ Byleveld.

A big thank you to everyone for their contribution towards a very successful day and we look forward to seeing you all at the upcoming KZN Breeders Race Day on Sunday 26 June, and the Sibaya KZN Yearling Sale.
