“They take time and they are classic horses. We are thrilled that the pattern shown by the Marchfield progeny in Canada looks to repeat itself here.”
US champion sire A P Indy (Seattle Slew) retired from stud duties in 2011 with the reputation of being a truly outstanding stallion
While he may have died in 1988, the great sire Roberto continues to make his mark throughout the world
None were more in the limelight than Bush Hill Stud’s beautifully bred young horse, Flying The Flag
A truly eclectic group of stallions will be represented by their first South African two-year-olds this season
“Our highest price for a Marchfield so far was R250,000 – he arrived under the radar and buyers haven’t been sure what to make of him, but they should come and have a look at our two-year-olds…”
There are no fewer than nine stallions with their first NYS yearlings on offer at the Germiston sale
It is interesting to note the trends of various sire lines, represented by the new stallions with their first local crops on the upcoming yearling sales
Moutonshoek’s exciting young sire Marchfield, whose first crop are now yearlings, ended 2015 as the Champion 2nd Crop Sire in Canada
Moutonshoek’s exciting young sire Marchfield is currently fighting to win the title of Canada’s Leading First Crop Sire for 2014.
A man we are privileged to have known as a loyal friend of this great game and of the Sporting Post, a personal mate, and one of South African horseracing’s great characters, Shaheen Shaw, a husband, loving Dad and Grandad, passed away suddenly at the age of 55
The sad reality is that no matter who did what wrong, the Peter saga has been a scar on the SA horseracing landscape for far too long and besides the old favourite of justice delayed, it has lingered lengths ahead of KZN star Royal Victory’s big win in the 2023 renewal of the Highveld showpiece
