Jan Mantel’s Millstream Farm is producing, quality drafts year after year. Millstream is sending three lots to the 2022 Cape Racing Ready To Run and Unbroken 2-y-o sale on 29 October, all having been prepared by trainer Piet Botha, and looking the part.
Botha furnished comments on the trio and expressed his satisfaction with their preparation.
Lot 43 is a filly by Potala Palace out of New Money, an unraced mare by ace broodmare sire Captain Al from the close family of Cinnamon Sugar and Greenacre.
Botha reported: “She is very forward, has a lot of pace and moves well. I am excited about her, I think she will gallop well and is the type of filly that will win early.”
Lot 57 – Queen Lagertha, a filly by Royal Mo out of Sukiwarrior, by Power. “She is a nice, low-actioned filly, covers decent ground. She is sweet and sensible and does everything right, but still a baby and will need a few more months. She is a stunning filly, nice and strong and moves well.”
Lot 71 is Big Fella, a colt by William Longsword out of the Gr3 Nursery winner Hot Affair by Jay Peg. “He is quite forward and ready to do a lot. He has a very nice action, a good mover that covers ground and has pace, he is sensible and is another that should come early, doing well,” Botha said.
Millstream’s Lot 70 has been withdrawn from the sale.
