Jan Mantel is a vastly experienced horseman and the force behind Millstream Farm, which is set just outside Robertson – a prime racehorse breeding region. He brings six yearlings to market, including three sought-after Vercingetorix’s – two fillies and a colt, Lots 42, 93 and 71.
Millstream Farm – prime racehorse breeding region
The former’s dam is Masked Lady, Gr1, placed at two in the Allan Robertson. She has produced multiple winners, Maximus and Masked Vigilante, who have won 10 races.
Vercingetorix has sired 29 Stakes Winners, including 8 Gr1 winners from just 322 runners – a remarkable hit rate. His yearling, Lot 93 out of the Var mare Temenee, is immediate family to I am Invincible (Aus); second dam Tamaanee won up to Gr2 class on the Highveld.
Lot 93
Acting as an agent, Millstream sells another Vercingetorix, Lot 71, a bay colt called Freedom Fighter ex Savannah Leigh. All three of her foals to race have won, with SA Fillies Nursery heroine Green Plains (Gimmethegreenlight) the best to date. The second dam, La Deportista, was no slouch – she, too, scored in six races, including Gr2s. Her best foal was Eastern Cape champ Juan Pablo, winner of 13 races up to a mile. This colt can be admired in stable A21.
Lot 71
Peeking at Lot 61’s page, an unnamed Master Of My Fate filly notices the 2nd dam, La Volta, the dam of Master Archie, the Gr1 Computaform victor. 3rd dam, Sarabande, was a phenom – the Gr1 winning race mare cranked out seven individual winners – Mardi Gras and Chesalon (14 wins between them) were her standouts.
Lot 61
Lot 94, Echo Foxtrot, is by Querari ex, The Jet Girl. She’s already produced Captain of Stealth, an extremely talented racehorse who suffered a nasty injury – the four wins in his resume understate his true ability. The second dam, Chant de Nuit, won in the Gr2 class, with a 100% strike rate of winners to runners, including 8 x winner, African Ruler.

Mantel unveils a Hawwaam colt at the beginning of the sale, Lot 2. Hawwaam, a Champion three-year-old colt in SA in 2018/19, is getting his career as a stallion underway – his oldest progeny are yearlings.
