The Mauritzfontein bred and owned Gimme A Nother is, without question, one of the most exciting horses currently racing in South Africa. A regally bred daughter of Gimmethegreenlight and former Equus Champion Nother Russia, Gimme A Nother has won each of her six starts by an aggregate of more than 16 lengths, with Gimme A Nother having already picked up four graded stakes wins. Gimme A Nother was particularly impressive in her latest two starts when she won the G2 Wilgerbosdrift Gauteng Fillies Guineas by a length and three quarters and the G1 Wilgerbosdrift SA Fillies Classic by an emphatic four and a quarter lengths. Mauritzfontein will be offering prospective buyers a chance to buy a Gimme A Nother of their own when they bring a high-class consignment to the upcoming National Yearling Sale. Gimme A Nother’s outstanding sire Gimmethegreenlight has four yearlings on offer here, with other top stallions represented in this draft including the likes of Danon Platina, Master Of My Fate, Querari, Rafeef, and Vercingetorix.
Understandably, Mauritzfontein’s Mike Sharkey is pleased with the quality of the farm’s National Sale string and he is bullish that buyers will be impressed.
