We invited Gold Circle’s Racing Analyst and TV presenter Warren Lenferna to visit Scott Bros’ Highdown Stud on Friday to view the stallions, and a few of the 2015 foals including a spectacular half-brother to Wild One and a yearling full-brother to Gr1 winner Orbison.
An immaculately prepped group of yearlings pre-selected for Nationals in April from first season sires’ French Gr3 winner Eightfold Path and Gr1 Middle Park Stakes winner, Crusade were also presented.
Amongst the stallions shown was the beautifully-bred Mogok, a sire of four Gr1 winners – two of them International with Gypsy’s Warning and The Apache. Gr1 Breeders Cup and Eclipse Award winner Miesque’s Approval, a leading sire on the Polytrack made a great impression and finally the young and exciting first season sires’ Eightfold Path and Crusade.
You can catch the brilliant team of Gold Circle’s own Warren Lenferna and ex top jockey Kevin Shea co-hosting at Greyville race days including the TGIF Friday Night Live racing.
Thank you to the team at Scott Bros for an wonderful morning and beautiful KZN-bred horses!
