The five Sales spanning from 2011 to 2015 have produced no fewer than 125 stakes winners
Cape Premier Yearling Sale to be held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on 20 and 21 January 2018
A Trippi colt out of a Gr2 winning daughter of leading sire Dynasty equalled the record for a yearling sold at auction in South Africa when knocked down to Coolmore for R6 million
There was early action on Day 1 of the Cape Premier Yearling Sale when a Var filly out of champion miler Captain’s Lover was bought for R3,6 million
Besides the 4 Frankel lots on offer, all the major local stars are there and also plenty to fuel buyer interest with premier international stallions
The sale also marked the first time that the China Horse Club bought yearlings on a South Africa sale –their purchases including a Var filly for R1.9 million and a Dynasty filly for R800 000
We are now dealing with proper breeding stock, sired by proper sires, which makes it that much more difficult to choose and also that much more expensive, says Joey Ramsden
I once stuck my hand up at R500 000 only to find my bid-spotter telling me “its your bid at R800 000”! Oops, how did that happen?, asks John Freeman
It was a champagne moment for Barbara and Ian Sanne and their highest price achieved in 40 years of breeding high-quality thoroughbreds in South Africa
Mike de Kock and his team will select and purchase up to five yearlings for MDK Racing Syndicates at the 2015 CTS Cape Premier Yearling Sale
The catalogue for the 2015 Cape Premier Yearling Sale is now available online
Charl Pretorius writes in his Off The Record column on the 4Racing website that owners, trainers and racing fans are gravely concerned about the state of our industry
There has been a precipitous decline of betting on the Totalisator which gives cause for concern for the horseracing industry
