The Ndoro Stud bred Heavens Girl has proved to be a real money spinner for her connections.

The classy daughter of Soft Falling Rain, a R110 000 buy from the 2020 Cape Yearling Sale, has won or placed in nine of 12 starts, while earning R400 000 in stakes.
Heavens Girl has won feature races at both two and three, with the Ndoro graduate capturing the Gr2 4Racing SA Fillies Nursery as a juvenile, before going on to win the Listed Bauhinia Handicap the following season.
Ndoro will be offering a close relative of this uber speedy filly at the 2022 Two-Year-Old Sale – on 26 and 27 August.
The filly (Lot 13) in question, and daughter of former sprint champion Captain Of All, is out of the Joshua Dancer mare Magnificent Maggie. The latter has proved a tremendous broodmare and is not only granddam of the aforementioned Heavens Girl, but Magnificent Maggie has also produced seven additional winners headed by Listed Storm Bird Stakes Winner War Room and Storm Bird Stakes runner up Carlito Brigante.
Ndoro will be offering seven other lots at this month’s August Two Year Old Sale, with their draft also featuring two-year-olds by the likes of Flower Alley, Futura, Lancaster Bomber, Querari, Visionaire and the increasingly successful Rafeef.
The latter, South Africa’s Leading Second Season Sire of 2021-2022, is represented in this consignment by a filly (Lot 238) whose speedy, stakes placed dam is a full-sister to Gr3 Diana Stakes third place-getter Fear Not, and this filly’s third dam is none other than former Equus Champion, and Gr1 winner, Kimberley Mine.
Ndoro’s August Sale string can be viewed from Block F at the TBA complex this week.
