Hadlow Stud will be bringing four smart yearlings to the 2025 KZN Yearling Sale.
This quartet is comprised of lots sired by Chimichuri Run, Erupt, Hat Puntano and Summa Cum Laude, with all yearlings hailing from high-class female lines.
A Bit Spicy (Lot 7) is a filly from the first crop of record breaking Gr1 Tsogo Sun Sprint winner Chimichuri Run. This filly is a half-sister to three winners, and the well bred A Bit Spicy hails from the immediate family of such multiple Gr1 winners as Captain America and Kommetdieding among many others.
Charity Mile winner Hat Puntano, the sire of smart performers Hat’s Pride, Hat’s Queen and Eight Hats, is represented here by Tinas Hat (Lot 8). The latter is out of a twice winning daughter of Gr1 Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom, with Tinas Hat’s third dam a full-sister to both New Zealand champion St Reims and Gr1 Melbourne Cup runner up Champagne.
The aptly named Magna Cum Laude (Lot 24) is one of the few foals around for the blue blooded Vercingetorix son Summa Cum Laude. This filly, a three-parts sister to a useful winner, is out of the regally bred Blue Rhone Sky, a winning Dynasty full-sister to multiple graded stakes winner African Night Sky.
Dubawi’s dual Gr1 winning son Erupt has been in good form of late, with Erupt’s latest winners including Listed TAB Gold Bowl winner Taxhaven and World Sports Betting Highland Night Cup hero Shoot The Rapids.
rupt is responsible for Grass Roof (Lot 28), a colt out of a five time winning daughter of top-class broodmare sire Horse Chestnut, and this colt is bred on the same cross as the useful Perilla.
These four yearlings can be found in Block A at the Suncoast Casino in Durban.
