The Cape Premier Yearling Sale was everything they said it would be and more in terms of quality and pricing. With buyers from around the world, international class pedigrees and bloodstock that can win anywhere in the world, it is the sale to be at come the end of January positioned the two days before one of the country's biggest races - The J&B Met.
Local trainer Mike Bass isn't shy when it comes to putting his cheque book where is mouth is and he wasn't shy again this time around purchasing some of best of the sale.
The highest lot of the sale went to Bass for a R2.8 Million, a Jet Master out of Our Table Mountain. The beautifully bred specimen was all the rage in the ring and attracted vigourous bidding which ending in a record price for the sale. Bass also bought the third highest lot also by Jet Master for R2.3 million.
Shadwell South Africa was active and purchased the lovely Dynasty, Magnum Opus for R2.6 million.
The other R2 million plus yearling was a Jet Master half sister to Jay Peg, who went for R2.2 million. Jet Master had 5 million rand plus lots in total. Captain Al had 4 along with Trippi.
The sales average was slightly up on last year even though this years event is run by Cape Thoroughbred Sales in place of last year's TBA bannered sale.
