Riverton Stud have bred a long list of top-class thoroughbreds, with the Robertson farm’s alumni including such G1 winners as Astrix, Captain Of All, Domino Man and Pearl Of Asia, to name but a few.
Duncan Barry will be offering buyers a chance to acquire their own top-class Riverton Stud bred star when he brings two choicely bred fillies to the upcoming Cape Sale. Riverton will be selling a filly by Galileo’s high-class son The United States, as well as a filly hailing from the first crop of the speedy Snitzel horse Real Gone Kid.
The Real Gone Kid filly has a real Riverton pedigree to her, with her dam, Queen Of Thrones, a half-sister to the Riverton Stud bred sprint champion, and successful sire, Captain Of All.
Duncan had the following to say about his pair on sale:
Lot 69: f The United States -On High, by Seventh Rock
She is a big, strong, good walking filly with a great attitude.
By the same sire as such smart females as Sheelah, United Council, and Rodeo Drive, this filly’s granddam is a twice winning Jet Master half-sister to champion Jay Peg.
Lot 77: Real Gone Kid -Queen Of Thrones, by Rebel King
This is a racy, correct filly with a pedigree filled with speed.
From the first crop of Snitzel’s speedy son Real Gone Kid, this filly’s dam is a half-sister to the Riverton bred champion Captain Of All
Riverton’s two yearlings can be viewed from Block E at the SARDA Centre in Constantia.
