Lammerskraal Stud is a farm long renowned for the quality of its broodmare band.
This can clearly be reflected in the quality of yearlings that Lammerskraal will be offering at this year’s National Yearling Sale.

Their draft is made up of yearlings sired by Hawwaam, Master Of My Fate, Rafeef and the record breaking Vercingetorix, but it is the class of mare represented which is the standout factor in this consignment.
Descendants of such star producers and racemares as Fanfreluche, Taineberry, Laptop Lady, Enchanting and Miss October abound here.
One yearling bound to attract attention is Feast Of Berries (Lot 244), a filly by Vercingetorix out of Jonsson Workwear Gr1 Garden Province Stakes winner Redberry Lane. Not only is this filly by the same sire as such star fillies as Double Grand Slam, Spumante Dolce and Mrs Geriatrix, but her Gr1 winning dam has already produced a pair of winners including the very useful performer Rondebosch. Bred on similar lines to Gr1 winner Silvano’s Pride, Feast Of Berries’ dam is a full-sister to Gr1 Bloodstock SA Cape Guineas/Gr2 K R A Guineas winner Solo Traveller.
Another beautifully bred yearling sired by Vercingetorix is the well named Viva Asterix (Lot 336). This colt, a three-parts brother to the smart Silver Maria and half-brother to Gr3 Campanajo 2200 winner Sovereign Spirit, is out of the Jet Master sired Gr1 Woolavington 2000 winner Viva Maria.
Var’s Gr3 Tommy Hotspur Handicap winning daughter Miss October has been an excellent producer, with her progeny including a pair of Gr1 winners in the form of October Morn and Tempting Fate.
Her high-class daughter Spring Break, a Gr2 placed full-sister to the Gr1 SA Fillies Sprint winning October Morn, is responsible for the Rafeef colt October Reef (Lot 295), and this colt is certainly bred to be quick!
The ever popular Rafeef is also the sire of Egolee (Lot 87), a filly out of a multiple stakes winning half-sister to champion Jay Peg, while Fair Fate (Lot 116) is a Master Of My Fate half-brother to a pair of stakes winners in the form of Listed Ibhayi Stakes victor Fabian and Listed City Of Cape Town Sophomore Sprint hero Future Variety.
This draft can be found in Block F at the TBA Complex in Germiston.
