Grant Knowles – adapting for the market
The Klawervlei Sale established a strong market identity regarding value for money, including its latest unbeaten star graduate Kommetdieding, which was a shrewd R55,000 purchase by Michelle Rix for owner Ashwin Reynolds two years ago.”
Knowles added: “We will be introducing a lucrative sales race too. There will be a R1,000 levy per horse for vendors, and a R3,000 levy per horse for buyers. We are aiming to raise R600,000 for the De Grendel Farm Sale race, to be held over 1250m at Durbanville in March 2022.”
De Villiers Graaff of De Grendel said: “We are excited to be extending our relationship with the racing fraternity. It looks like we’ll have to buy a horse ourselves, soon!”
