HEVERSHAM OFFER THREE AT NATIONAL YEARLING SALE

Heversham Park Farm will be triply represented at this year’s National Yearling Sale, set to take place on April 15th and 16th in Germiston.

The Heversham draft is highlighted by a colt from the first crop of resident stallion, and G2 Dante Stakes winner, Wings Of Desire. The latter, a son of outstanding stallion Pivotal, is a full-brother to King George runner up Eagle Top and three-parts brother to the Pivotal sired classic winner Sariska.

Wings Of Desire’s eagerly awaited first crop includes a regally bred (Lot 182) half-brother to G1 Cape Derby third Herodotus, with his colt hailing from the same family as multiple Australian G1 winner Sea Siren and former G2Dingaans/G2 Gauteng Guineas winning sire Oracy.

Heversham will also be offering two well related yearlings by proven G1 stallions Elusive Fort and Oratorio.

The former, whose progeny include this season’s top-class three-year-olds Catch Twentytwo and Kommetdieding, is the sire of a half-brother (Lot 307) to the useful Self Assured, with this colt out of a half-sister to G3 winning two-year-old Wheredowego.

Danehill horse Oratorio, whose local representatives include dual G1 winning sprinter Van Halen, is represented in the draft by a blue blooded filly (Lot 337) whose dam is none other than G1 Woolavington 2000 heroine Zirconeum.

Keen to acquire a yearling whose pedigree contains the blood of the great Pivotal? Come and inspect the Heversham Park Farm draft at this year’s National Yearling Sale.
