Lot 22 is a Vercingetorix colt out of the Argentinian mare, Kay Tee Perry.
Maine Chance Farms, in the famous B.A.R. region, is consistently in the upper echelon of SA’s thoroughbred breeding industry and has been ranked in the Top 10 for the past twenty years.
Representatives from their draft are always worth scrutiny given the Stud’s outstanding record of production. They send seven yearlings to the Summer Sale – “Where you future champion awaits.”
Lot 22 is a Vercingetorix colt out of the Argentinian mare, Kay Tee Perry (see picture above the article headline). Second dam Krysia foaled Keane, the Champion Older Horse in Argentina in 2016/17. Devil’s Bag, Halo and the family of Machiavellian work extremely well with Lomitas, Silvano and Vercingetorix. And inbreeding to Danzig delivered Rock of Gibraltar.
Lot 23 (Pictured above) is a daughter of Rafeef – Leading First Season Sire in SA in 2020/21. Irish dam Kitoko (by Montjeu) has a couple of foals to race – both winners. And there is an abundance of Black Type on the female side with high quality French and Irish influences. To illustrate, third dam Yogya, produced Six Perfections (by Celtic Swing) – the Champion 2YO filly in Europe in 2002 and Champion 3Y) Miler in France the following year. A prolific Niarchos family over generations!
Lot 40 (pictured above) is an end of August, Vercingetorix filly out of Perfect Princess. She is from the same regal family as Princess Victoria, Princess Royal and HOTY Princess Calla, a family line that continues to produce fillies of the highest order.
If you seek a speedy youngster then Lot 67 (pictured above), in stable A3, is worth a gander. Querari is a proven sire of sprinters and currently the best producer of 2-yr-olds. (e.g. his son, Rio Querari won the G1 Computaform Sprint) and dam Victoria Lavelle was fleet-footed over the short cuts.
The same, good- value sire is represented by Lot 80 (pictured above) – a filly ex Bandola (by Silvano.) One of only three foals of hers to race was Bavarian Beauty, who took out the G1 Douglas Whyte as a 2YO. Further down the page, there is Black Type aplenty tracing through the second (Buccelati) and third dam (State Treasure).
Maine Chance’s final offering is an intriguing blend of stamina and speed. Futura is an influence over middle distances and beyond, whilst the dam of Lot 85 (pictured above), Cat’s Paw was a zippy sprinter. Amongst her five winners to date is speedball, Celtic Voyager, winner of the Umgheni and Durban Dash.
Maine Chance, who stands terrific stallions, Vercingetorix and Querari, together with fine producers, Erupt and Quasillo, have recently added Point Lonsdale to their team. The tough and consistent son by blue-blooded Australia out of the super-swift, Acclamation mare, Sweepstake is an exciting stallion prospect at a time when SA breeders are looking to add fresh blood to the gene pool.
Whilst viewing yearlings for this Summer Sale, it will be opportune to discuss Point Lonsdale’s syndication options with Maine Chance’s owner, Dr Andreas Jacobs.
