Hopes And Dreams Stud’s draft for the 2026 August Two Year Old Sale is dominated by the progeny of Grade One winning stallions.
Of the 15 lots catalogued by Hopes And Dream for the August Sale this year, 11 were sired by a G1 winning stallion. This consignment also includes an attractive range of both proven and promising sires, with some of South Africa’s most popular stallions represented.
Exciting US G1 winner Digital Age, who is set to have his first runners in the 2026-2027 season, has three exciting prospects on offer. Digital Age’s trio include a filly (Lot 182) from the wonderful Party Time family and a colt (Lot 220) out of a winning half-sister to G1 Mercury Sprint winner Pearl Of Asia.
Other G1 winning sires represented by members of their first crop in Hopes And Dreams Stud’s string include Eden Roc, Kommetdieding, and Master Archie.
Rose Of Eden (Lot 85) is a filly from the first crop of G1 Gold Medallion winner Eden Roc and she hails from the same female line as Australian star Good Edition, while G1 Computaform Sprint Master Archie’s sole offering is a colt (Lot 136) from the family of champions Carry On Alice, Kildonan and Magnificent Seven.
July/Met winner Kommetdieding is another with a single member of his first crop on offer here -a colt (Lot 219) whose stakes placed dam is a half-sister to G1 Computaform Sprint winner Pacific Trader.
Other enticing two-year-olds to be found in this string include an Erik The Red colt (Lot 151) out of a G3 placed daughter of Querari, a colt (Lot 206) by red hot sire The United States from the family of such standouts as Kooyonga, Kundalini and Roland Gardens, and a Buffalo Bill Cody colt (Lot 222) whose granddam is Listed Syringa Handicap winner Persian Rug.
