The Botha family’s Benmarne Stud will be bringing a small but smart draft to the National Yearling Sale.
This string is made up of lots sired by Global View, Heavenly Blue and the ever-successful Querari.
Benmarne Stud have already enjoyed plenty of success with the progeny of Querari, having bred Gr1 winner Querari Falcon and Gr2 Gauteng Guineas winner Monks Hood by that sire.
Arne Botha has a few personal preferences with his standout lots as follows:
Lot 281: Solar Sail – c Querari – Fly Rebecca Fly
This is a very precocious colt, who is well-balanced, strong boned and is a good mover.
Lot 118: Tucannon Blue – c Heavenly Blue – The Widow’s Club
He is a scopey, big colt who is strong-boned. He is also very forward and mature. It was great to see Heavenly Blue get off the mark with an impressive recent winner in the form of Zinovi.
Lot 72: Kaleesh Cyborg c Global View – She’s A Dragon
This very well-balanced colt has good legs and is a great walker.
Benmarne’s string for the 2023 National Sale can be viewed from Block B at the TBA Complex.
