Anton Shepherd’s Beaumont Stud, breeders of Variety Club, unveils three babies for the Cape Racing Winter Yearling Sale which takes place on the 6th June from 11am at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth.
Lot 5 is a Buffalo Bill Cody ex Fortuny, a half- sister to the high class, Wonder Lawn, who competed with distinction in SA and the UAE. Second dam, Velvet Green won twice at Gr1 level – the Garden Province and Majorca Stakes. Fortuny has already thrown Oni San, a speedy grey filly and with Buffalo Bill Cody siring handsome physical specimens this is one to note early on at Thursday’s auction.
Lot 73 is a Rafeef colt out of Captain Al mare, Submergence. She is a half-sister to the extremely quick Graduation Day. Rafeef can seemingly get them to win over any distance – he has sired 18 SW’s from 182 runners.
Speaking of speed, Lot 75 can be expected to scuttle as a daughter of Cape Merchants winner, Erik the Red out of Timetoperfection who won four times over the short cuts and a half sister to Highveld speedball, Aurum Pot. Her only runner to date, Pocket Watch won again on Thursday.
Give Anton a call to arrange viewings on 082 652 7005. The farm’s email address is beaumontstud@mweb.co.za.
