Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 24, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 24, 2018 Champion sire Captain Al (SAf) provided the three top-priced lots during the first of three sessions of Bloodstock South Africa’s National Yearling Sale in Johannesburg on Tuesday. Leading the way was Mauritzfontein Stud’s colt who is the second produce of the champion 3-year-old filly Cherry On The Top (SAf) (Tiger Ridge). Lot 113 was bought by Jehan Malherbe’s Form Bloodstock for R4,750,000 ($385,248/£275,699/€314,909). The Hong Kong Jockey Club, fresh off busy stints buying horses for its International Sale in Australia and Europe, swooped for the second top-priced lot on Tuesday, Klipdrif Stud’s Captain Al colt (lot 63) out of the stakes-winning Valor Red (SAf) (Western Winter), for R3,330,000. Kerry Jack Bloodstock signed for the session’s priciest filly, Riverton Stud’s daughter of Captain Al (lot 150) who is a half-sister to five winners including a stakes-placed horse. Her price tag was R2,900,000. Also siring lots in excess of R2-million on Tuesday were fellow champion sires Dynasty (SAf) (2) and Silvano (Ger), as well as Silvano’s son and first-crop sire Vercingetorix (SAf), winner of the G1 Jebel Hatta at Meydan in 2014. Statistics will be provided upon the conclusion of the sale on Thursday. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
