There’s something about the two-year-old sale that intrigues. Like any other major sale it throws up its fair share of big winners. But when it comes to overseas competitors things appear to be quite out of the ordinary. Irridescence, JJ The Jet Plane, Dane Julia, River Jetez, Cerise Cherry, The Apache.
Back To Best! Jacskon drew clear to win the Gr1 Champions Cup
The major sales held earlier in the year all have barriers to entry. You have to have pedigree, and you have to look the part in terms of conformation. It’s all about scoring points. The 2yo sale has no such hurdles. Anything goes. There are the late developers who grow into great lookers such as Jackson – he made a cool million at the sale in 2010. There are the unproven sires. Then there are the faulty ones, such as J J The Jet Plane with his funny legs. Or fillies with what the market regards as ‘lesser’ pedigrees, like River Jetez, whose famous full brother Pocket Power was still under wraps when she went through the ring. And Dane Julia, whose dam was not more than a fair sprinter – be it that she was a daughter of Danehill. And then more recently, the Gr1 winner The Apache left our shores and earned a cool R12-million in his three Gr1 and Gr2 performances in Dubai.
At the end of the recent season, Jackson a R1million graduate came back to seal his racing career with another Gr1 win.
Last year’s sales topper was a Tapit filly consigned by Highlands and for which Joey Ramsden went to R650 000.
The 2012 average price of just over R69 000 shows that one doesn’t have to spend an arm and a leg either, to acquire that dream machine.
Flax, a 2yo sale graduate wins Gr1 Raffles Cup in Singapore
This year we have 364 2yo’s catalogued over the two days with everything from recently crowned champion sire sensation, Silvano, to a host of exciting first season sires.
The value to be had for the fortunate and astute buyer, is evidenced by the consistent local and international achievements of graduates from this veritable goldmine over the years. What of the 2013 2yo sale catalogue? It seems very much business as usual, with the leading sires only marginally represented, and Graded black type in relatively short supply. But as we well know, gems are lurking in the pages.

NATIONAL EMBLEM Nation’s Pride
Shea Shea – Proudly SA!
South African champion racehorse National Emblem’s BSA graduate son Shea Shea hit the top of the international charts late last week when he was assigned the joint top rating for a South African bred horse in the world.
National Emblem, died earlier this year, but the good soldier does have two rather intriguing lots on offer:
Shea Shea was been given a rating of 120 (which makes him equal to What A Winter and one pound ahead of Horse of the Year Variety Club), by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities.
Shea Shea received his rating following his wins in Dubai and his fine placings in two of Britain’s greatest sprint races . These ratings cover the period 1st December 2012 to 14th July 2013.
The world’s top rated horse during that period is the now retired Black Caviar, unbeaten in 25 starts. The daughter of Bel Esprit received a rating of 120, ahead of such luminaries as US Horse of the Year Wise Dan, and fellow US stars Fort Larned and Game on Dude.
Shea Shea, who is owned by Brian Joffe and Myron Berzack, was a R550 000 at the 2009 Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale from the Klawervlei draft.
Following a stellar career in South Africa, where he won four features and over R1,5 million in prize money, Shea Shea was exported to Dubai – where he took the world by storm.
After landing the Listed Meydan Sprint, Shea Shea made South African hearts rejoice with a seamless win in the Gr1 Al Quoz Sprint on World Cup night.
He has since been placed in two of Britain’s most prestigious sprints – the Gr1 King’s Stand Stakes and Gr1 July Cup – and there is plenty of unfinished business on that front!
