The lengthy list of Clifton Stud bred stakes winners received another update this season when the Clifton bred Better Never Ends proved to be one of the best two-year-olds around in South Africa during 2025-2026.
The son of Declarationofpeace and the Hussonet mare Endearment has already earned more than R600 000, with Better Never Ends having claimed the G2 TAB SA Nursery. Clifton also bred the classy Fortress Of Fire, a sparkling winner of Sunday’s Listed HKIR In December Umngeni Handicap.
The prolific Clifton Stud, who come up with high-class performers year in and year out, will be strongly represented at this year’s August Two Year Old Sale.
Clifton’s August draft includes two-year-olds sired by the likes of Act Of War, Eden Roc, Fire Away, and Jet Dark -as well as by Declarationofpeace, the sire of Better Never Ends.
Titanic Hero (Lot 46) is a colt by proven G1 sire Fire Away and he is out of G3 Acacia Handicap winner High Seas Beauty, a daughter of dual Derby winner and outstanding sire High Chaparral.
Act Of War, another proven source of G1 winners, has two lots on offer here, including Act Of Zar (Lot 117) a colt whose five time winning dam is a daughter of unbeaten champion Husson.
Promising young G1 winning sires Eden Roc and Jet Dark are both represented here. Var’s G1 Gold Medallion winning son Eden Roc is doubly represented here, with his pair including On The Rocs (Lot 229), a beautifully bred half-sister to no fewer than 11 winners including Hong Kong G3 winner Chefano and multiple graded stakes winner Madison Valley.
Trippi’s five time G1 winning son Jet Dark is the sire of Dawn To Dusk (Lot 231), a half-sister to two multiple winners whose dam is a three-parts sister to graded stakes winners August Rush and Miss October.
This draft can be viewed from Block E at the TBA Complex in Germiston.
