Club buys three yearlings for R4.8m at National Yearling Sale in Germiston

One factor emerged from last week’s National Yearling Sale in Germiston, the Hong Kong Jockey Club is an organisation whose policy is action not words.

In a nutshell, Hong Kong is there to help and they took action last week buying three yearlings for R4.8m. Of course, the Hong Kong purchases make good business sense. They will have to travel the long route to Hong Kong via England before being put on sale in the former British colony in June 2022. A bid of R1.5m from the Vermaak team secured a Gimmethegreenlight colt who is a full-brother to Mike de Kock's dual grade 2 winner Barahin. An early foal — in contrast to Power Factor — the yearling was offered by Mauritzfontein Stud.
