With just days to the CTS Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale on Friday 21 April at the world-class casino complex in Johannesburg, most of the Cape based candidates have already arrived at the sales venue

Top Cape breeders Avontuur dominated the Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale held at the popular Johannesburg hotel and casino complex on Friday, producing the top three lots from just five in their quality draft
John Koster of Klawervlei Stud and Pippa Mickleburgh of Avontuur Stud, who have exciting drafts to send through the auctioneer’s ring, were all smiles on the eve of the 2016 Emperors Palace Select Yearling Sale – and for good reason
It was a weekend for smashing records in South African horseracing and trainer Tara Laing and champion owners Ingrid and Markus Jooste got the ball rolling at Fairview on Friday

Trainer Tara Laing has done an outstanding job with the Var flyer Vauclair who racked up his eleventh win when storming home to beat the dual Gr1 winner Copper Parade in the R100 000 Cradock Place Stakes
The stallion parade was followed by a select viewing of some of Oratorio’s first crop of South African sired weanlings. They included siblings to such high class performers as Contador, Schiffer and Varuna, and caught favourable comments from many a knowing judge.
