This increasingly important auction, described as a fun, informal sale with huge value, has a reputation of uncovering future stars at tremendous value, and a number of top class athletes have been sold off this sale in past years.
Klawervlei Farm Sale graduate Captain Of All wins the Diadem Stakes

The brilliant Captain Of All has been a tremendous advert for the farm sale, with the record breaking son of Captain Al having won or placed in five graded races and has earnings of over R1 million prospect.
His victories include an exciting score in the G1 Tsogo Sun Medallion, over fellow G1 winner Willow Magic, as well as a gutsy victory in this season’s G2 Khaya Stables Diadem Stakes, where Captain Of All accounted for the G1 winning sprinters Copper Parade and Fly By Night.
