The KZN Breeders Race Day featuring the KZN Breeders Million Mile, took place at Greyville Racecourse on Sunday, 28 June.
Entry into the race was exclusively for KZN bred three and four year olds registered with KZN Breeders Premium Scheme and this year was won by BEZANOVA (Bezrin), trained by Alec Laird for owner Mr M C Gerber and jockey Anton Marcus got the 4 year old gelding home ahead of Wild One and Front Rank. Bred by Clifton Stud, Bezanova pocketed a cool R625 000!
In 2012, Gold Circle introduced an exciting new two year old race which was run on July Day in 2013, a non-Black Type Stakes race worth R1million for graduates bought at the Suncoast KZN Yearling Sale with further incentives if successful in the subsequent KZN Breeders Million Mile races.
To stand a chance of winning your share of the R1 million purse in 2016, you must find your dream horse at this year’s sale which will be held at Suncoast Casino on Thursday, 2 and Friday, 3 July. For more information about the sale, visit: www.tba.co.za.
