Bloodstock South Africa is proud to be offering some top-class prospects from the Al Adiyaat Dispersal on the upcoming May Online Auction.
From a relatively small number of local runners, Al Adiyaat have bred and raced some outstanding performers in South Africa, including Al Sahem, Nebraas and Zillzaal, and buyers will have the chance to acquire relatives of Al Adiyaat stars at the May Online Auction.
Among the stallions represented by daughters in this dispersal are Giant’s Causeway, Querari, Silvano, Var and the Al Adiyaat raced champion Vercingetorix, while this dispersal also includes such racing prospects as champion Nebraas and the useful Simple Simple.
This represents a wonderful opportunity for breeders to purchase some outstanding mares prior to the start of this year’s breeding season and is not a sale any discerning breeder can afford to miss.
Lot 7: Zulaal m Giant’s Causeway -Surfside
The daughter of champions Giant’s Causeway and Surfside has proved a wonderful broodmare. Zulaal has produced a pair of stakes winners notably the Silvano sired G1 Gauteng Chris Gerber Summer Cup winner Zillzaal.
She is currently in foal to Silvano’s outstanding son Vercingetorix and is thus carrying a three-parts sibling to the R2.391 million earner Zillzaal.
Lot 94: Rimaah f Querari -Zaakhira
“Rimaah winning at Turffontein 9 April 2022”
Runner up in the Listed Breeders Guineas, the dual winning Rimaah hails from a truly exceptional female line. A daughter of top sire Querari, Rimaah herself is out of a stakes placed daughter of multiple Australian champion sire Redoute’s Choice. The latter is broodmare sire of numerous top-class performers including top Australian sire Zoustar with Redoute’s Choice mare Honorine dam of the recent R6 000 000 National Yearling Sale topper.
Rimaah’s granddam, by top class sire and broodmare sire Royal Academy, is a half-sister to globetrotting champion sprinter Starspangledbanner -sire of seven G1 winners including the recent G1 FWD Champions Mile winner Beauty Eternal.
She sells as a breeding prospect.
Lot 100: Seeham f Vercingetorix -Alderry
“Seehaam winning the Listed Jacaranda Handicap 20 March 2021”
A very classy performer, Seehaam won four of her first six starts including the Listed Jacaranda Handicap. In landing the Jacaranda Handicap, Seehaam thrashed subsequent Equus Champion and G1 Hollywoodbets Durban July winner Sparkling Water by five lengths.
Seehaam has plenty going for her as a broodmare prospect. Not only is she by an outstanding sire in the form of Vercingetorix (by Silvano), but she is also a three-parts sister to the Silvano sired G1 SA Derby winner Al Sahem (who earned more than R3.1 million in prize money) and the Silvano sired G1 Gauteng Chris Gerber Summer Cup third Al Mutawakel. The trio were produced by the top-class mare Alderry, who won the G2 November Handicap.
A hugely attractive prospect, Seehaam sells in foal to Invincible Spirit’s G1 winning son Digital Age.
Lot 113: Temenee m Var -Tamanee
This lightly raced winner is a daughter of Var – twice Leading Sire of 2YOs in South Africa and broodmare sire of such G1 winners as In The Congo, Master Archie, Alesian Chief, Tempting Fate and recent G1 Jonsson Workwear Computaform Sprint winner Thunderstruck. Out of a Gerald Rosenberg Stakes winning daughter of outstanding sire Teofilo, Temenee’s granddam Cangino is a winning half-sister to outstanding sire I Am Invincible. The latter is again heading Australia’s General Sires List for 2023-2024, with I Am Invincible having been Champion Sire in Australia in both 2021-2022 and 2022-2023.
Temenee sells in foal to US G1 winner Digital Age -who, like I Am Invincible, was sired by Invincible Spirit.
Lot 134: Al Akhtaar g Silvano -Zulaal
Lightly raced, this full-brother to G1 Gauteng Chris Gerber Summer Cup winner Zillzaal won his most recent start by five lengths.
Lot 139: Forgiveness f Silvano -Tayba
“Forgiveness winning at Turffontein 30 December 2023”
This filly, whose first three dams were sired by Western Winter, Mr Prospector and Blushing Groom, broke her maiden by four and a quarter lengths when successful over 1600m and was beaten less than three lengths, by subsequent G2 Wilgerbosdrift Bridget Oppenheimer SA Oaks winner Frances Ethel, in the Listed Ormond Ferraris Oaks Trial. She sells as a horse in training.
Lot 145: Khateera f Pomodoro -Witchcraft
Selling as a horse in training, this filly has run well in each of her four starts and was beaten less than a length and a half when a close up fourth last time out.
She also has plenty of paddock value, with Khateera’s dual G3 Track And Ball Oaks winning dam Witchcraft a half-sister to G1 winner Under Your Spell.
Lot 146: La Moohal g Vercingetorix -Hafla
“La Moohal winning at Turffontein 30 December 2023”
Bred on similar lines to Listed Jacaranda Handicap winner Seehaam, La Moohal ran first or second in four starts between December and February. Relatively lightly raced, this gelding looks to have the scope for more wins.
Lot 151: Nebraas g Vercingetorix -Noor Dubai
Equus Champion Stayer of 2020-2021, Nebraas has earned more than R1.733 million in stakes with his eight wins, thus far, including triumphs in the 2021 G3 DStv Gold Vase, 2021 G3 Marshalls World Of Sport Gold Cup, and 2022 G3 The Citizen Gold Bowl.
Also twice victorious in the G3 Caradoc Gold Cup, Nebraas has shown signs that he could still have good wins in him, with the gelding having finished less than a length off Master Redoute when a close up fourth in this season’s G3 New Turf Carriers Western Cape Stayers.
Lot 156: Simple Simple f Querari -Simply Royal
“Simple Simple winning at Turffontein 25th April 2024”
A beautifully bred filly, offered as a horse in training, Simple Simple recently won for a third time. She also has plenty going for her as a broodmare prospect -with Simple Simple a daughter of prominent sire Querari and G3 Acacia Handicap winner Simply Royal. The latter, a half-sister to Listed East Cape Fillies Nursery winner Winter Fantasy, is a daugher of Silvano and G1 Thekwini Fillies Stakes winner Royal Fantasy.
