Lot 110 is by boom sire One World out of a once-raced daughter of the top class Jet Master mare Ebony Flyer which makes this colt’s Duke Of Marmalade dam a half-sister to Cape Guineas-placed Cot Campbell (Cape Racing Sales)
Drakenstein Stud, beautifully situated beneath craggy mountains in the winelands on the approach to Franschhoek, are currently SA’s Champion Breeders, having finished in the Top 3 the last four years. As such, whatever they bring to market is eagerly anticipated by discerning buyers. They dispatch five babies to the Cape Racing Winter Yearling Sale, taking place at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth on 6 June 2024.
Lot 3 is a Futura colt by Fantastic Trip – both her colts to race are winners. Second dam, Lady Windermere was the Champion 3YO Filly in SA in 2008/09 and there is plenty more Black Type when delving deeper to third dam, Ballad of Reading’s progeny.
Lot 57 is a colt by Querari out of Rock on Baby who has already thrown promising young sprinter, Amber Rock. The second dam Cutty Sark was a successful producer as Santa Maria (won the Gr3 Diana Stakes), Sailing Ship and Sail (placed up to Gr1 level) were notable talents.
Ashikule is a chestnut Erupt colt out of 4x winning mare, Shatoosh. He goes into the ring as Lot 66 and pedigree afficionados will note that second dam, Mink Coat, who has thrown several good winners is a half- sister to Gr1 Summer Cup heroine, Flirtation.
Drakenstein’s inspired purchase of American stallion, Trippi was a true master stroke. It will be fascinating following the progress in the breeding sheds of this great sire’s daughters. Lot 95 is a colt by first season sensation, One World, out of the Trippi mare, Cape Bluebell. Second dam, State Blue was a speedball who won seven times up to Gr3 level and was placed in G2 events.
Drakenstein’s last offering at this sale will be Daniel, a son of boom stallion, One World ex Dark Duchess, a half-sister to Cot Campbell who was placed in the Cape Guineas before going to Hong Kong. Third dam, Sunshine Lover, yielded the Champion 3YO Female Miler in 2007/08, Captain’s Lover, making Lot 110 well worth closer physical inspection in Stable C18.
The Pinhook incentive scheme, introduced in 2023, will again be a sale feature at CRWYS. The incentive allows speculators to make purchases at this sale while only having to pay for the stock once selling at the Ready to Run Sale in October.
All graduates qualify for the CRS Juvenile bonus, which pays R100,000 to the winning connections.
Kevin Sommerville will be in attendance to welcome prospective buyers and provide special insights into these athletic Drakenstein bred individuals. Use cell 072 167 9971 or email kevin@drakensteinstud.co.za
