Heversham Park Farm staged a unique competition in the build-up to the Bloodstock South Africa August Two-Year-Old Sale last month and have announced the names of the five astute winners.
Two cash prizes of R5 000 were offered to the individual who could correctly predict the top-selling colt and the top-selling filly at the sale.
The idea was to stimulate interest among buyers and the general public, and in their own eight lots, said to be their best ever draft.

In a media release from Heversham Park on Sunday 1 September, it was advised that four entries correctly predicted the top-selling colt, Lot 29, Torremolinos, which sold for R2,8 million.
They received 43 entries in total.
The correct entries came from Jacobus Fieland, Gregg Howarth, Marshin Chettiar and Kevin Naidoo.
Gregg Howarth
Jacobus Fieland is an employee of Wilgerbosdrift Stud, and like the other winners he’s a keen breeding and racing follower.
Marshin Chettiar
A decision was made to split the prize in four instead of drawing a single winner, and therefore each of the four gentlemen received R1 250.
Kevin Naidoo
The single winner for the top-selling filly was Chris Lawrie, who also loves his pedigrees and has a collection of now valuable old SA Stud Books.
He will receive R5 000 for selecting Lot 306, a One World filly out of Summer Moon, who was knocked down for R1 million.
