Oldlands Stud has enjoyed a fantastic run of success over the past two seasons or so.
Oldlands-bred Gr1 Thekwini Stakes Winner – Canadian Summer (Pic – Candiese Lenferna)
Not only is the Sanne family farm responsible for breeding recent Gr1 winners Ambiorix and Zarina, Oldlands also bred Canadian Summer, one of the leading two-year-olds of the recently concluded 2021-2022 racing season.
Herself a bargain R80 000 buy from the 2021 August Two Year Old Sale, Canadian Summer won or finished second in all five of her starts last season, culminating in a breath-taking win in the Gr1 Thekwini Stakes, to stamp herself a leading contender for Equus Award honours.
Canadian Summer is not the only classy filly offered for sale by Oldlands at the Two Year Old Sale -the farm also offered subsequent Gr2 4Racing Gerald Rosenberg Stakes winner Netta at the 2019 auction.
Oldlands Stud will be offering buyers the chance to acquire their own Canadian Summer when they bring eight smart lots to this weekend’s Two Year Old Sale – on August 26 and 27 respectively.
