The horses come in strange, restless tides, each promising glory—hooves drumming against our dreams of speed and triumph. This past Thursday at the Cape Racing Premier Sale, we cast nets woven from ambition and instinct, hauling in an exceptional catch: six gleaming prospects secured for a cool R3,250,000.

First came Lot 5, "Girl For Me," from Maine Chance Stud (headline photo). Her lineage is threaded with nobility—daughter of Girl On The Run, a Black Type Mare whose victories include two emphatic Group 3 wins. (By the way, a whispered aside: shares remain available in this regal filly, should you hunger for a slice of excellence.)

Then emerged Lot 47, "Life In Colour," from Paardeberg Stud, sired by the electrifying Malmoos and borne by Mina Salaam, herself steeped in Black Type prestige. Mina Salaam has already gifted racing history True To Life, a name etched deeply in the memory of racing devotees. And Life In Colour himself? Simply magnificent.

Barely pausing for breath, we grasped Lot 48, the beguilingly named "Trompe L'Oeil," from Varsfontein Stud, offspring of the champion Gimmethegreenlight and the formidable Mirage, a Black Type Captain Al mare. Pedigree whispers through his veins—kinship tracing back to the immortal Giacomo, conqueror of the Kentucky Derby.

The momentum carried us swiftly to Lot 134, a Querari colt from Millstream Stud, out of Bold Nimph. She has already bestowed upon the track a Grade 1 winner, Mighty High, and his equally dazzling full sister, Gobsmacked. Our colt awaits a name fitting his regal potential.

And then, Lot 149, "Guiding Star," from Oldlands Stud, son of the indomitable champion sire Vercingetorix, and full brother to the Grade 1 hero Ambiorix—a celestial alignment in equine form.



Lastly, Lot 229, a filly by freshman sire Malmoos from Ten Einde Stud. Freshman sire or not, we've glimpsed brilliance in Malmoos—he’ll carve his legend yet, and this filly caught our eye with unmistakable promise.

Immense gratitude swells towards our owners, whose faith emboldens every stride, every daring investment. You have trusted us to choose these vessels of speed and spirit. Together, let us now chase the horizon.
