The 2021 CTS Farm Yearling Sale, formerly the Klawervlei Farm Sale, will be held at the De Grendel Wine Estate today!
Cape Thoroughbred Sales recently announced a substantial increase in prize money for the 2022 CTS Farm Sale Stakes Race. The race, scheduled for June 2022, will now be worth R400 000, doubling its current R200 000.
This is a sale with high quality at value prices and, given its nature, also with opportunities for speculators.
This has been proved time and again by its graduates, from the likes of present leading stallion Captain Of All and Gr1 Cape Derby winner Edict Of Nantes in the early days of the original Klawervlei Sale, to the first three winners of the Farm Sale race in Rock The Globe, Kommetdieding and Masked Vigilante.
The catalogue boasts 136 entries, including lots from leading stud farms Klawervlei, Ridgemont/Highlands, Wilgerbosdrift, Maine Chance, Nadeson Park and Normandy.
Past Farm Sale graduate Kommetdieding – fancied for the Vodacom Durban July (Pic – Chase Liebenberg)
There is an excellent variety of sires in the mix, including the in-demand Captain Of All (10 lots), Pomodoro (19), Canford Cliffs (7), Master Of My Mate (3), William Longsword (11), Rafeef (3) and The United States (5).
The catalogue presents an interesting challenge for pedigree experts – especially those who have a knack of identifying the right nicks, and who can spot potentially prolific mares, with several first foals as well as unsold lots from the 2021 Premier Sale in the mix.
Add to this the late-bloomers among the yearlings, invariably with a few decent runners among them, and the art of spotting good sorts underneath their winter coats becomes a factor.
There are any number of pedigree elements to highlight when taking a closer look at the various lots, but a few jump from the page.
These include a half-sister to the listed Secretariat Stakes winner Paisley Park; a half-brother to the listed Darley Arabian winner Guru’s Pride; a half-brother to the multiple graded winner Sargeant Hardy, and a half-sister to the Equus Champion Sprinter, Seventh Plain.
Among the first foals are a colt from Gr3 winner Girl On The Run; a colt from Gr2 winner Intergalactic; a colt from Gr2 winner Jo’s Bond, and a half-brother to recent runaway winner Eternity Ring.
