Barbara Sanne of Oldlands Stud contacted Turf Talk to inform buyers that this year all of the Oldlands Stud yearlings will be sold at the Cape sales.
She will be sending yearlings to both the CRS Premier Yearling Sale and the BSA Cape Yearling Sale.
She said, “I am getting older and older and also for practical reasons I think it is better to sell just in the Cape.”
This should serve as a warning to up country fans of Oldlands Stud that if they are hoping to buy one of their quality yearlings at the BSA National Yearling Sale they will be disappointed.
Oldlands have a fine record, with international achievers including Dubai winners Lucky Find and Sanshaawes and recent Gr 1 winners in South Africa including Canadian Summer, Zarina and Ambiorix.
Barabara confirmed that the Oldlands drafts at both Sales would be “wonderful” and include some “super” horses.
