Lot 29 is by Dynasty sire Horizon and her unraced Press Statement dam is an Australian-bred half-sister to a Gr 2 winner in Australia. This filly’s third dam is the dam of Igugu. With such a pedigree and good looks, she should attract a lot of attention (Picture: Cape Racing Sales)
Hemel n Aarde Stud situated inland close to the coastal town of Hermanus in a beautiful, fertile valley, continues to punch above its weight. The boutique stud has bred many good value, high quality horses over the years. They dispatch seven yearlings to the Cape Racing Winter Yearling Sale on Thursday, 6 June 2024. The auction takes place at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth – kick-off is 11h00.
Lot 29, named Apricity, is a first foal sired by handsome son of Dynasty, Horizon from Lady of the Hour (by Press Statement) She is thus a half -sister to notable Stakes horse in Oz, the David Payne trained, Tarka who won at Gr2 and Gr3 level and was also Gr1 placed). Third dam Zarinia produced Igugu the HOTY in South Africa in 2010/11, so there is considerable substance to the page.
Lot 59 is an unnamed Hawwaam filly out of the High Chapparal mare, Santiburi. Hawwaam was, of course, a multiple Gr1 winner and Champion Three-Year-Old colt in SA in 2018/19. His oldest progeny are yearlings.
Adorada won four races between 1400m and 2000m – she too has been put to Horizon and the resulting produce goes into the ring as Lot 87. Digging a bit deeper, note third dam Countess Alexis who threw 10-x winner, Exelero and Master Mascus who caused a sensation on the island of Mauritius in 2011/12.
Lot 92 is another Horizon yearling. Dam, Aunty Carol is a half-sister to Demanding Lady, famously the dam of freaky-brilliant miler, Charles Dickens, G1 Cape Derby victor, Charles and Somerset Maugham.
Freshman sire, Heavenly Blue combines with Cashmere Mafia for Lot 100. Heavenly Blue won the SA Classic (Gr1) and is a son of Snitzel. Second dam Olympic Special threw 13-time winner, Memphis Mafia and Eastern Cape dasher, Bob N Weave.
Lot 109 is a bay colt by new speed sire Erik the Red and out of Dancing in Seattle, a game six- time winner at Fairview. There is a surfeit of Black Type on the female side of the page.
Hemel n Aarde offer (as agent) Lot 70, Time will Tell, a William Longsword baby out of the Silvano mare Star of Silver and thus a half to top division E.P. performer, Gimme the Stars.
