Henham Stud will be offering two lots on behalf of the legendary Gary Player -a Master Of My Fate filly (Lot 39) whose twice winning dam hails from the same outstanding family as both Master Of My Fate and Triple Crown winner Malmoos, and a Pomodoro filly (Lot 257) whose dam is a Western Winter half-sister to former South African Triple Crown winner Abashiri.
Stars Aligned (Lot 64), a Querari colt offered on behalf of John Slade, is a full-brother to Gr1 Premiers Champion Stakes runner up Liberty Hall, with this colt’s dam Liberty Star being a Fort Wood half-sister to five black type horses.
Royal Assent (Lot 136), a Pomodoro half-brother to three winners, is a colt bred on similar lines to the Gr1 winning Gluwein, and his second dam is the uber quick Melting.
