Bloodstock South Africa’s Breeze Up Gallops were concluded yesterday at Yellow Star Stud in the beautiful farming district of Mooi River, a 2hr drive from Durban in the province of KwaZulu-Natal. Over 100 horses were put through their final paces ahead of the Sale on Sunday 2 November. The video recording is now live on the TBA website:

The 125 strong catalogue might be small in number (find supplementary entries attached), but high on quality featuring some of South Africa’s best performed stallions including Captain Al (SAF), Fort Wood (USA), Judpot (USA), Kahal (GB), Silvano (GER), Trippi (USA), Var (USA) and Western Winter (USA) and a smattering from overseas like Bernadini (USA), Henrythenavigator (USA), I Am Invincible (AUS) and Star Witness (AUS).

The majority of horses will arrive at the TBA’s world class Sales Complex in Johannesburg from Sunday 26 October and professional consignors Ambleway Stables, Balmoral Stud, Far End Stables and Yellow Star Stud look forward to showing off their drafts.

Please note that Piroplasmosis tests will be available for scrutiny on Friday 31 October and will be posted on the TBA website.

For all logistical and accommodation requirements, please contact myself or Caroline Simpson.

Best wishes
