Added to the mix such popular stallions as Chimichuri Run, Hawwaam, Legislate, Master Of My Fate, New Predator and reigning champion Gimmethegreenlight, and buyers are bound to find plenty to admire about this draft.
Gimmethegreenlight is responsible for a regally bred colt (Lot 22), who is a three-parts brother to classy sprinter Gimmelightning, and this colt is bred on the potent Gimmethegreenlight/Fort Wood cross.
Certainlydifferent (Lot 237) is a filly bound to attract attention, with this daughter of Lance a three-parts sister to the Lance sired superstar Quid Pro Quo. Destined for an international campaign, the brilliant Quid Pro Quo has won six of nine starts, and is the only horse ever to win the Gr1 Allan Robertson Championship, Gr2 Zulu Kingdom Explorer Golden Slipper and Gr1 Douglas Whyte Thekwini Stakes.
Blue Sky’s exciting young sire Chimichuri Run has four members of his first crop on offer. Connect Me, a four time winning daughter of Gr2 SA Oaks winner Cyber Cento, has a filly (Lot 51) in this draft, while five time winner Georgina Rose has a colt (Lot 119), who is closely inbred to champion sire Trippi, on sale. The Tsogo Sun Sprint winning Chimichuri Run is also the sire of a half-sister (Lot 154) to three winners including the useful Minogue, and by a half-sister (Lot 158) to the very smart performer Player.
Master Of My Fate consistently ranks among the leading sires, and that son of Jet Master is represented here by a colt (Lot 186) from the family of Gr1 winners Nania, Red Ray and Set Afire, while champion Hawwaam, who has made such a promising start to his stud career, is the sire of a filly (Lot 180) out of a stakes winning half-sister to Gr1 Cape Guineas winner and successful sire Act Of War.
This draft can be found in Block C at the TBA Complex in Germiston.
