In the last few years, Mauritzfontein has begun a renewed effort to obtain fresh blood and exceptionally well-bred fillies to continue the dynasty and shape their thoroughbred nursery.
The farm has produced no fewer than 14 Oaks winners, 7 Durban July winners and most impressively a Triple Crown and a Triple Tiara winner.
They will be presenting a quality quartet at the BSA 2025 Cape Yearling Sale on Sunday, 23 February.
