Nadeson Park Stud, breeders of, among others, multiple Equus Champion Got The Greenlight, will be offering a large, quality draft at this year’s National Yearling Sale. One of the standout aspects of this string is the presence of a number of yearlings by champion sire Gimmethegreenlight, sire of the aforementioned Got The Greenlight among many others, on offer.
Comeback Johnny (Lot 92) is a Gimmethegreenlight colt out of a stakes winning half-sister to G3 Gold Bowl winner Don’t Look Back, and this colt hails from the family of champions Along Came Polly, Young Opera and Rock Opera, with the latter dam of French G1 winner and promising young sire Royal Meeting.
Gimmethegreenlight, whose flagbearers this season include the likes of Gimme A Nother, Green With Envy and Sandringham Summit, is also the sire of Greenside Girl (Lot 100), a full-sister to Listed Lady’s Pendant winner Roll In The Hay who is closely related to the likes of Gimme One Night and Lady Of Steel, while Green Skyeline (Lot 343) is a colt out of a twice winning daughter of G3 winner Queen’s Command.
Other appealing lots by South Africa’s reigning champion sire include the half-brother (Lot 371) to recent Listed Breeders Guineas runner up Siddeley who is bred on similar lines to Gimme A Prince, and the full-brother (Lot 382) to the smart G2 Cape Merchants runner up Ready Steady Go.
However, this consignment is not only about Gimmethegreenlight, with Nadeson Park also offering yearlings sired by the likes of Master Of My Fate, One World, Querari, What A Winter and Trippi, with the latter represented by a half-brother (Lot 93) to this season’s Cape Racing Sales The Ready To Run Stakes winner Tail Of The Comet.
This draft can be found in Block D at the TBA Complex in Germiston.
