The farm’s Hendrik Winterbach is confident of success at this year’s National Sale, and has singled out the following lots to keep an eye on:

Lot 4 : c Vercingetorix – Patchit Up Baby
A strong very correct son of Vercingetorix.
One of the best ones in the draft. Buyers must be ready for him or else they are going to miss out being early. He is out of the G1 placed Patchit Up Baby, who has a fantastic pedigree.

Lot 17 : f Rafeef – Princess Of The Sky
This is a super filly out of a Listed winner.
She is a big filly with lots of scope. Looks a lot like Rafeef himself. We all know what he is doing.

Lot 53 : f Vercingetorix – Schippers
Great mating and lovely pedigree. This is a strong filly that looks to come early. First foal out of a multiple graded stakes winner.

Lot 110 : f Lancaster Bomber – Talitha Borealis
Super athletic filly, out of a five-time winner, with a great attitude and walk.

Lot 185 : c One World – Awayinthewoods
Quality colt with lots of scope and a top walk . A lovely running family. He should be popular.

Lot 223 : Powerandtheglory c Gimmethegreenlight – Come Fly With Me
This is a super yearling . He is a half-brother to the G1 winning Double Superlative. This colt, whose dam won five and was G3 placed, has everything. And more to come because he is a late foal.

This consignment can be found in Blocks D and G at the TBA Complex in Germiston.
