Ascot Stud bred thoroughbreds have more than made their mark, both locally and overseas. From the likes of Warning Zone and G1 Allan Robertson Fillies Championship winner Rock Opera (dam of high-class international gallopers Royal Meeting and Heavy Metal), Ascot bred horses have proved tremendous advertisements for the quality of horse produced in South Africa. Ashley Parker will be bringing another high-class string to this year’s National Yearling Sale, with Ascot Stud offering a further five yearlings on behalf of the Riyo Stud. While this draft is packed with quality horseflesh, Ashley picked out a few lots he is confident will find favor with buyers:
