Future Buzz (Lot 107) is a filly whose dam is a winning half-sister to G1 HSH Princess Charlene Empress Club Stakes winner Ronnie’s Candy, while Palace Script (Lot 269) is a half-sister to 5 winners and she is out of a daughter of Jet Master and G2 Computaform SA Oaks Futurity winner Royal Prophecy.
Other attractive prospects to be found in this consignment include Sunset Warrior (Lot 26), a Willow Magic colt out of a stakes placed daughter of Dynasty, and Windsor Silk (Lot 158), a filly by Dynasty’s Cape Guineas winning son Act Of War out of a three time winning daughter of Silvano.
At Henham Stud, the emphasis of horse breeding is temperament, toughness and ability. Horses are reared ‘hard’ in the veld of the Karoo. For the first two years of their lives, the young Henham horses remain on the veld where they grow slowly with good strong bones and they learn to be surefooted and clever. Buyers should remember this when buying from Henham Stud!
