Pippa Mickleburgh, always a wealth of information on her Avontuur-breds, commented on the Estate’s six yearlings at the Cape Premier Sale on 14 March.
Lot 3: Triple Time- Twice Over colt
Lot 3: Triple Time- colt by Twice Over ex Valeta
“A big, strong colt by a quality sire and a Gr1-placed mare from the family of Sarabande, hence his grey colour. This is a good mating, putting VAR’s speed to Twice Over.”
Lot 91: Kennedy- filly by William Longsword ex Jackie O
“A beautiful and powerful filly from the immediate family of Argonaut and Simply Salmon that looks precocious. She’ll be one for the early ‘baby’ races and could yield a quick return.
Lot 105: Gold Beach- filly by Gold Standard ex La Normandie
“From the first crop of Trippi’s son Gold Standard, who has sired some good-looking youngsters. This filly has plenty of Trippi in her – she’s a refined, classy and athletic specimen, a half-sister to Gr1 winning sprinter Normanz.”
Lot 109: Sagan- colt by VAR ex Lazer Star
“A nice colt, the second foal of a top-class sprinting mare. He’s a good walker, moves well and has plenty of scope.”
Lot 119: Hot Ice- What A Winter coilt.
Lot 119: Hot Ice- colt by What A Winter ex Menorah
“A stunning, flashy and well-built colt by a top sire from a speedy damline. I have high hopes for Hot Ice, he’s a robust, masculine eye-catcher and looks like he’ll run!”
Lot 123: Typeset- filly by Futura ex Muamba
“Typeset is a tall, athletic filly by a promising young sire from a good female line. She’s gorgeous, well-bred, well-related, has a lot going for her.”
