Cheveley Stud, one of the leading thoroughbred nurseries based in the Western Cape, has another excellent draft on offer at this year’s National Yearling Sale
Melody Belle, who, like Cheveley Stud sire Wylie Hall, descends from the mare Belle Time, made it an eighth Gr1 victory when she won at Hastings on Saturday
The grey Dynasty colt was too immature to go to the National Yearling Sale
The Koster family out at Cheveley Stud will be watching the Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint with great interest on Saturday, having bred the full-sisters, 4yo Snowdance and 3yo Juniper Spring
The Justin Snaith-trained dual Gr1 winner looks all set to defend her Majorca Stakes title on Sun Met day
Former Horse Of The Year and four-time Gr1 winner Legislate has returned to his birthplace, the Cheveley Stud in Ceres, and he will be standing this season for a very reasonable fee of R5 000 live foal
She’s a sister to a champion and coupled with her class and ability, Dynasty’s daughter Statute looks to have a bright career ahead of her
New Cape racing sensation Snowdance was the best bet on the Sun Met card and she duly won in good style – despite hitting the front early
Justin Snaith saddled his fifth Gr1 Cape Fillies Guineas winner in the past decade when the Captain Al filly Snowdance stamped herself a leader of her generation

The number of entries compares favourably in quantum with recent years, with 58 first entries received in 2024, 60 in 2023, 68 in 2022, 53 in 2021, 52 in 2020, 49 in 2019, and 69 in 2018
Ironically, it was a colt which provided Alan with a first Gr1 success, this being Alec and Gillian Foster’s homebred Cereus, who landed the 2001 Gold Cup at Hollywoodbets Greyville, his victory completing a momentous double on the day, with the Gr2 Golden Slipper having gone the way of juvenile filly Tatler, a great-great-great grandaughter of Sun Lass!
