The inaugural CPYS – Book2 to be held at Kenilworth Racecourse from the 2-4th March is now available online at www.capethoroughbredsales.com for viewing.
Cape Thoroughbred Sales, the new sponsors of the Cape Guineas, has launched their Cape Premier Yearling Sales catalogue.
Newly formed Cape Thoroughbred Sales Pty Ltd has announced their sponsorship of Cape Town’s principle race for 3 year olds, the 68th renewal of the Cape Guineas (Gr1).
A consortium of major breeders initiated a bold new idea – to conduct a unique yearling auction inside the Cape Town International Convention Centre in January 2011. From the successful inaugural event, the rights to the venue to conduct the 2012 Sale were secured. The core philosophy of Cazador is to utilize a modern, innovative, commercially driven enterprise to grow the bloodstock market and thereby better racing and breeding in South Africa.
It is obvious that we are nearing the end of a long hard season judging by the threadbare supporting bill on today’s Clairwood card. Even the most diehard punters would have found the fields generally lacking in quality and quantity and the afternoon’s entertainment was rather flattered by the healthy Pick Six pool of R2,8 million, which benefitted from a sizeable carryover. The chasm between the superb Grade 1 race and the six maiden plates on the card is a wide one and one wonders whether we should be looking to the trainers or the race programmers for answers and explanations?
Any ideas for likely riders? Have your say
