Beaumont Stud have bred another top-class performer in the form of Jet Force.

A leading contender for Saturday’s G1 Mercury Sprint, four-year-old Jet Force has picked up a pair of graded stakes races this season in the form of the G3 Variety Club Mile and G3 Post Merchants respectively.

His breeder will be offering a beautifully bred colt (Lot 11) from the first crop of champion Jet Dark at this year’s August Two Year Old Sale. Closely inbred to Jet Master (the paternal grandsire of Jet Force), this colt is out of G3 Kenilworth Fillies Nursery winner Epsom Girl.

The latter, in turn, was produced by Listed Oaks Trial winner Epsom Downs, a daughter of high-class broodmare sire Tiger Ridge. The well bred Epsom Downs is out of a half-sister to the G1 winning champion Kochka, and, further back, this is the family of globetrotting champion Jay Peg, among others.

This colt can be viewed from Block A at the TBA Complex in Germiston.
