NATIONAL TWO YEAR OLD SALE HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!

One of South Africa’s oldest and most successful thoroughbred auctions is set to take place at the TBA’s Germiston complex on August 18 and 19th. With more than 260 two-year-olds on offer, the 2016 National Yearling Sale has something to suit every buyer!
With past graduates including such superstars as J J The Jet Plane, River Jetez, The Apache and exciting new sire Jackson, the National Two Year Old Sale has acquired a reputation as a sale which offers buyers both excellent value for money as well as the chance to acquire a truly top class racehorse.

Many of South Africa’s top farms are represented at this year’s sale, and here are a few of the farms represented:

Andalusia Stud has two lots on offer at this year’s sale –both being by Sadler’s Wells’ proven sire Doowaley. Closely related to French Derby winner and champion sire Caerleon, Doowaley’s top offspring include such graded winners as Rei Rei, Louvre and Tzigane, as well as high class Mauritian galloper Solar Symbol. His colt (Lot 1) on offer is from the same family as Natalia Stakes winner Wildfire and former SA Oaks winner Tsessebe, while the Doowaley filly (Lot 6) from the Andalusia draft is out of a daughter of an own sister to dual G1 winner Duchess Daba, with her third dam being the excellent racemare and producer Izindaba.
Ascot Stud (whose former 2YO Sale graduate Arabian Beat went on to land the G1 SA Nursery in 2015) has a strong draft of 12 on sale, and they are also acting as agent (for Riyo Stud) for another five lots.
Their draft includes juveniles by their current and former resident sires Bold Silvano and Sail From Seattle, as well as by the exciting young sire Pathfork, and the latter’s in-form stable mate Great Britain. Among the picks from the Ascot draft could be a Sail From Seattle filly out of a half sister to Breeders’ Cup winner Tikkanen (Lot 35), a Bold Silvano filly whose second dam is a Sadler’s Wells half sister to three European G1 winners (Lot 60), a Sail From Seattle colt whose dam is a half sister to former Equus Champion Paraca (Lot 97), and a Sail From Seattle three parts sister to high class performers Captured Gold and Elusive Gold (Lot 138).
As agent, Ascot will be offering a colt by red hot young sire and G1 winner Pathfork whose third dam is the great mare Alidiva (Lot 68), a filly by Pathfork from the family of champion Slew O’Gold and recent US G1 winners Aptitude and Slumber (Lot 117), and a Sail From Seattle colt out of a three time winning Red Ransom mare from the family of last year’s champion Shalaa (Lot 190).
Birch Bros (whose numerous string of champions bred include the legendary Sea Cottage) have just two on offer at this sale –a Greys Inn (sire of this season’s likely Horse Of The Year Legal Eagle) colt out of a winning daughter of SA Oaks runner up National Beauty (Lot 61), and a colt by G1 July Cup runner Main Aim whose third dam is champion Evening Mist (Lot 172).
Bosworth Farms need no introduction –with their numerous stars including former Equus Champion and G1 Vodacom Durban July winner Heavy Metal. The farm will be offering 12 two-year-olds at the 2016 National Two Year Old Sale, including lots by the exciting young sire Byword, tragically ill-fated sire Sail From Seattle, as well their resident sires Dynastic Rule and Global One. Among their lots offered is a Sail From Seattle filly out of a four time winning half sister to 3 stakes winners –including dual G1 winner Slumdogmillionaire (Lot 5), a Byword filly out of a Fort Wood half sister to 2 black type performers (Lot 84), a King Of Kings filly out of seven time stakes winner Indian Ruby (Lot 19), and a Global One half brother to six winners, including Listed Umgeni Handicap hero Atlantic Inn (Lot 128).
With a tremendous catalogue once again this year (it include not only includes juveniles by South Africa’s top sires, but also some by a number exciting first crop stallions) the National Two Year Old Sale looks set to produce yet more Grade One candidates and future Equus Champions. This year, buyers will also be able to qualify their purchases for one of two R1 000 000 races, set to be held at Scottsville next August. These two races, one for fillies and the other for males, are open only for graduates of this sale and each race will be handicapped by the individual price of the BSA graduate entered.
With this incentive, no serious buyer can afford to miss this sale!
