Captain Of All – past graduate
Among the past graduates of the still young Klawervlei Farm Sale are Equus Champion and Klawervlei sire Captain Of All, the top class multiple stakes winner Door Of Deception, talented fillies Neala and Waity Katie, and the useful Profit Ratio.
With a number of well related juveniles still waiting in the wings, it seems likely this list will grow considerably over the coming months!

Among the top sires represented are Captain Al, Count Dubois, Dynasty, Jay Peg, Querari, Seventh Rock, Silvano, Trippi and Var, while exciting young stallions with their first South African yearlings on sale include champions Marchfield, Twice Over and What A Winter.
