Two-year-old Bloodstock SA sale dominated by new buyers

Bloodstock SA personnel never saw this one coming — their National Two-Year-Old Sale at Germiston was dominated by new buyers.

The aggregate for the sale was R32.5m, which was 10% up on 2018. The average of R103,085 was 15% up on 2018. There were no seven-figure sales with two lots both being sold for R800,000. The first came when Lynton Ryan — one of the best judges of horseflesh in the country — went to this figure to secure a Silvano colt who is a half-brother to the seven-time winner Gimme The Stars.

Also consigned by Klipdrif, this was yet another of the progeny of champion sire Silvano to grab buyers’ attention and the colt is a half-brother to five-time winner Black Cat Back. Given the popularity of Soft Falling Rain’s progeny, trainer Paul Peter probably considers he secured one of the bargains of the sale as he took home one of his colts for just R35,000.
