IMPRESSIVE DEBUT WIN FOR 2YO SALE SIBLING
17 July 2013


Flying Comfort, who made an eye catching winning debut at Durbanville on Tuesday, provided a boost to the pedigree of one of the well bred lots coming up for sale in next month’s Emperors Palace National 2YO Sale.

Flying Comfort (Goldkeeper), who won for fun first time out when scoring by five and a half lengths over 1000m, is a half-brother to lot 175.
A son of Parade Leader, the colt on sale is consigned by Klipdrif Stud (as Agent). The bay, who has been named Charlestown, is out of the beautifully bred mare Colchium.

The latter is a daughter of G1 July Cup winner Elnadim and the Gr2 Gosforth Park Fillies Guineas winner Dog Rose.
Dog Rose herself is also the dam of the high-class performer Saluki, whose 5 wins included the Gr3 Schweppes 2200.

What is interesting about Colchium’s pedigree is that her sire Elnadim and her broodmare sire Fort Wood are closely related. While Fort Wood is out of the great mare Fall Aspen, Elnadim is out of a daughter of Fall Aspen – making Colchium one of the most inbred mares in the catalogue.
For more information on Charlestown and any other of the well bred juveniles on sale next month, please contact the TBA office on (011) 323 5700.

FIRST OF A LEGEND ON SALE IN SA

The Emperors Palace National 2yo Sale represents a rare opportunity for South African buyers to acquire a juvenile by one of Europe’s best loved racing legends of the past ten years.

The Gary Player Stud Farm are proud to offer the first horse by the mighty Yeats to sell in South Africa at the 2yo Sale.

Yeats is the only horse ever to win the prestigious G1 Gold Cup for four years running. The handsome son of the immortal sire Sadler’s Wells won the Royal Ascot showpiece event from 2006-2009 – with his final victory causing scenes rarely seen at the Royal meeting.

Champion stayer on four occasions, Yeats won 15 races – of which 14 were features! The champion won no fewer than seven G1 races, including the Coronation Cup, Irish St Leger and Prix Royal Oak (French St Leger). In total, Yeats won over GBP 1 200 000 in an unforgettable career.

He was subsequently retired to Coolmore Stud - the former home of his legendary sire.

The Irish bred Yeats filly, catalogued as lot 281, is out of a mare by champion sire Danehill Dancer, and, is thus bred on the world famous Sadler’s Wells/Danehill nick made immortal by Frankel. The filly’s dam, Lady L, is a half-sister to the top-class, Group One performer Livadiya, and this is the family of multiple G1 winner, and sire, Linngari.

What price on Yeats making more history?
