Paarl Diamant has been in the Schabort family for many decades. The farm has a world-class infrastructure with stables, irrigated grass paddocks, smaller paddocks for rehab horses, lunge rings and large exercise areas and 24-hour supervision. They currently offer pre-training, spelling & rehabilitation, broodmare and foal care and sales preparation.
Paarl Diamant’s Monique Schabort will be bringing a very smart draft to this year’s Two-Year-Old Sale, with this consignment including two-year-olds sired by the likes of Erik The Red, Gimmethegreenlight, Master Of My Fate, One World and Rafeef. She selected a few potential standouts in her eye-catching string:
Lot 27: Beach Festival – Master Of My Fate -Lady Of Scandal (filly)
By the sire of Gr 1 winning fillies Golden Palm, Sentbydestiny and Zarina, this filly, a half-sister to four winners, is bred on the same Master Of My Fate/Var cross as champions Golden Palm and Tempting Fate. A very neat filly that hails from a good female line. Has a incredible temperament and generous eye.
Lot 55: Speed Storm – Rafeef -Princess Blitz (colt):
A three-parts brother to Gr 1 Computaform Sprint winning sire Master Archie, this colt is bred to be fast, with his dam a winning daughter of What A Winter and granddam a stakes winning daughter of Var. His dam is a half-sister to Master Archie. He looks to be a speedy sort as his name implies.
Lot83: Unnamed – One World -Someone Exciting (colt):
By one of South Africa’s most promising stallions, this colt is out of a four-time winning daughter of Goldfields Sprint Listed winner Lady Perez. He is an athletic son of One World that shows a good turn of foot. This scopey colt has a good rein and shows great action.
Lot 90: One Turn – One World -The Turning Point (colt):
From a top-class family, this colt’s dam is a three-parts sister to multiple graded stakes winner Future Swing. Very smart son of One World, who looks to be the sort to take on the classics. A very attractive colt.
Lot 126: Just Because – Erik The Red -Just Fabulous (colt):
By last season’s Leading First Season Sire, Just Because is closely related to Golden Palm, with the latter sired by Erik The Red’s close relative Master Of My Fate. His dam is a half-sister to the dam of Alan Greeff’s top filly Golden Palm. A well-made, scopey colt who oozes quality.
Lot 144: Unneded – Gimmethegreenlight – Fairyinthewoods (filly):
A daughter of a multiple champion sire, this filly is closely related to the likes of Tail Of The Comet and Chasing Green. Her dam won six times, from seven starts, including the Gr 2 Southern Cross Stakes.
She’s a full sister to Lighthearted, a three-time winner. Dynamite comes in small packages, and this filly works really well!
