Volmoed Stud is a farm with a growing number of smart performers to its credit.
Among the Volmoed bred horses to catch the eye this season are the smart filly Obsidian Star and feature race contender Earn The Weekend.
Volmoed will be offering another high-class draft at this year’s August Two Year Old Sale, with this string including two-year-olds sired by the likes of Fire Away, Jet Dark, Master Archie, Master Of My Fate, Pathfork, and Rafeef.
Champion Jet Dark, who had members of his first crop make up to R4 000 000 at this year’s National Sale, is the sire of Jet From Qatar (Lot 15), a filly whose dam ran second in both the G3 Fillies Mile and G3 Three Troikas Stakes.
Another promising young stallion represented in Volmoed’s August draft is Master Archie. That G1 winning son of Rafeef is doubly represented here with Master’s Sparkle (Lot 155), a filly whose dam won or was placed in more than 40 races, and Majestic Decadence (Lot 323), a filly whose third dam is none other than Equus Champion National Bay.
Master Archie’s hugely successful sire Rafeef is also represented in this string. Rafeef, whose recent flagbearers include the likes of Haute Couture, William Robertson and Flower Island, is responsible for Jophiel (Lot 167), a filly out of a winning daughter of Commands who hails from the same family as champion Samantha Miss (the latter sired, like Rafeef, by Redoute’s Choice).
Volmoed will also be offering, as agent, Superfastsuperstar (Lot 258), a regally bred son of top sire Master Of My Fate. Not only is this colt a half-brother to 2025 G2 Follow@WorldPool on X Umkhomazi Stakes third placegetter Titan Of The Turf, but his dam is a three time winning daughter of G2 SA Oaks runner up Star Safari.
This draft can be viewed from Blocks D and E at the TBA Complex in Germiston.
