The sale also includes the Al Adiyaat broodmare reduction sale, which consists of 11 fillies or mares, the majority of whom have been tested in foal to Al Adiyaat’s former champion and Dubai Gr1 winner Vercingetorix
The Cape Mare and Weanling sale has a history of uncovering many outstanding future broodmares. Remarkably, among others, the dams of two of South Africa’s greatest champions, were offered for sale at past Mare sales.
Every broodmare sale has them. The ones that got away. Mares who subsequent to changing hands do the apparently unexpected, and produce a Big One.

It is no mean feat to win at feature level from 1400m to 2400m, but My Best Shot proved equal to the task and set himself up for East Cape Horse Of The Year honours – and maybe a Hollywoodbets Durban July supplementary entry?
