Millstream Farm will be ten strong at this year’s August Two Year Old Sale, with Jan Mantel bringing up a draft packed with quality. Millstream’s draft consists of two-year-olds sired by Act Of War, Danon Platina, Futura, Legislate, Master Of My Fate, Querari and the unstoppable Vercingetorix.
This draft includes a pair of two-year-olds offered on behalf of legendary golfer Gary Player, with this pair made of a Vercingetorix colt (Lot 227) out of a three-parts sister to graded stakes winners Cape Speed and Zen Arcade, and Act Of War filly My Girl Viv (Lot 261). The latter, a cleverly named filly indeed, is out of Mrs Player, herself a full-sister to G2 Zulu Kingdom Explorer Golden Slipper winner Cockney Pride.
The latter’s sire Querari is himself represented in this draft by a half-sister (Lot 157) to recent winner Turbo Boost, while the hugely exciting Danon Platina is the sire of Gone Platina (Lot 118), a filly whose dam is a full-sister to graded stakes winning two-year-old Bold Eagle.
Vercingetorix, whose recent flagbearers include unbeaten sensation Mrs Geriatrix among others, is represented here by a three-parts sister (Lot 98) to G1 Summer Cup winner Zillzaal (like Vercingetorix, a son of Silvano), and a filly (Lot 236) whose granddam is a half-sister to star Australian globetrotters Elvstroem and Haradasun as well as the dam of seven time G1 winner Highland Reel. Safe to say this filly has plenty of paddock value!
Millstream Farm’s August Sale draft can be found in Block B at the TBA Complex in Germiston.
