Ten lots over R1-million – Day one

Ten lots in the first session of the 2014 Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale have fetched R1 million plus.

Another 15 yearlings have fetched upwards of R500 000 during the first part of the sale, in what has been a strong and competitive market. The latest to do so was the superbly bred Soldiers Code. Catalogued as lot 183, the flashy brown colt is a son of the ill-fated, triple champion sire Western Winter. The latters stock have proved very popular at the National Sale with already four Western Winter sired yearlings have fetched R1-million more. Soldiers Code, the colt in question, was consigned by Lammerskraal Stud – the former home of Western Winter.

A half-brother to Gr1 Woolavington Stakes winner Viva Maria, the colt was knocked down to Form Bloodstock for R1.1 million.
