Note from the KZN Breeders Club:

Congratulations to Lee Scribante, former Chairman (and current Vice-Chairman) of the KZN Breeders Club and to Warwick Render (Bush Hill Stud), both representing KZN. 

Lee Scribante of Piemonte Stud in Summerveld is passionate about the breed of the Thoroughbred, and his young farm in Summerveld has already produced the likes of Eastern Cape champion Kalamain, Gr3 winner and Eastern Cape champion O Tamara, followed by Gr3 placed Celestina. 

Purchasing top class fillies each year at sales with outstanding pedigrees and racing them himself, they find their way back to the farm for breeding and Piemonte Stud is clearly reaping the rewards at the this early stage. Watch this space for more to come.
