Bloomhill Stud looks set to enjoy good success at this year’s August Two Year Old Sale.
This family run KZN stud farm will be offering a quality string at the August Sale, with the Bloomhill draft made up of two-year-olds sired by all of Eden Roc, Jet Dark, Last Winter, Rabada and What A Winter.
One lot sure to attract attention is the filly (Lot 104) from the first crop of multiple G1 winning champion Jet Dark. By a sire whose first National Sale yearlings made up to R4 000 000, this filly, a half-sister to the smart Flying Fate, is out of a twice winning full-sister to G1 The Mercury Sprint winner August Rush and G3 Tommy Hotspur Handicap queen Miss October. The latter is the dam of champion Tempting Fate and G1 South African Fillies Sprint winner October Morn -who, like Jet Dark, was sired by Trippi!
Jet Dark’s stablemate, and top-class sire, What A Winter is another champion represented here. What A Winter is the sire of a three-parts brother (Lot 245) to G1 Pongracz Cape Flying Championship winner Bohica (whose sire was sired by Western Winter), and G1 Golden Horse Sprint runner up Bartholdi.
Another exciting prospect is the Eden Roc filly (Lot 148) out of Princess Vicky. By a promising, G1 winning son of Var, this filly’s granddam is dual Equus Champion Princess Victoria, and this is also the family of such champion fillies as Hoeberg, Petrava and Princess Calla.
Other appealing sorts to be found here include the Rabada colt (Lot 100) out of a G3 placed daughter of Gimmethegreenlight, and the Rabada filly (Lot 122) from the family of US champion Riboletta.
This draft can be viewed from Block C at the TBA Complex in Germiston.
