Horse Chestnut will have his first South African-bred yearlings, seven in total, including a half-brother to Run Angel Run (Makaarem) and a filly out of a half-sister to Victory Moon, on the Cape Premier Yearling Sale on 26 and 27 January 2012.


Footnote:

With all the excitement around this weekends Guineas, Horse Chestnut won the Cape Guineas by over 7 L in 1999

I see Gap Year (raced by myself, Elvis and a few others) has her first foal (by Silvano) on the sale - come on guys, let's put 50K each - maybe we can buy him for 300K <

Stunning pic the full size version is amazing..thanks to jimmy and Aiden for sending it through to us...

Anyone buying?

Frodo also see Seat Of Power, raced by several of us in the Trilogy Syndicate, also has her first foal on auction sired by Argonaut.

33 Captains Pleasure. Any thoughts?

Fancy Argonaut

Have to say that Inside Racing is a quality show and would love to buy a share in one of these beauties.

In addition the interview with Kantor on the Derby and the Horse Chestnut insert was superb.

Yes. Drinks.-D

Horses? You gotta be kidding. That's is a bomb of a catalogue, and while they can't all look like million Rand babies they will fetch big prices. The writing is on the wall for the National Yearling Sale as we have come to know it, and while the timing of the Cape sale is too early for some peoples' liking I have no doubt that the Western Cape is where the country's premier sale belongs.

It would appear the place to be Magic and looks good long term, overseas money.

Just watched James G show re quarantine and talk about red tape and going round in circles :S

At this stage fancy 5 horses

11, 56, 86, 111, 171

339 and especially 347 look like good prospects, hopefully they don't go for too much. Another sibling to Irish Flame is also up for sale, the last one Irish May was a bit of a let down if i am not mistaken.
