The National 2YO Sale, to be held at Germiston from Aug 13th to 14th, is a sale well and truly established as a value for money auction, which has its share of Gr1 winners and champions. Take J J The Jet Plane, who cost a modest R70 000 at the 2006 National 2YO Sale, and went on to prove himself a world class sprinter. Twice Equus Champion Sprinter (2008 and 2010), J J The Jet Plane won major feature races in four different countries – Dubai, Britain, Hong Kong and South Africa. A truly exceptional sprinter, his 15 victories included the 2010 G1 Hong Kong Sprint, where he accounted for the world class sprinters Rocket Man and Sacred Kingdom. The Apache, now standing as a stallion at the Rosedene Stud, was another wellbought top class athlete. The son of Mogok, bred by the Scott Bros, went for R80 000 at the 2009 National 2YO Sale, going on to prove himself a local champion and top class international performer. South Africa’s Equus Champion 3YO Colt in 2011, The Apache won six times in his country of birth with his biggest wins including the G1 Champions Cup and G1 Daily News 2000. Exported to Dubai, he made his mark by winning the G2 Al Rashidiya and finishing second in both the G1 Jebel Hatta and G1 Dubai Duty Free. The Apache was then sent to North America where he was
first past the post in one of the world’s biggest turf races, the G1 Arlington Million of 2013, only to be demoted to second for interfering with the runner-up. Another great buy was River Jetez, who cost R230 000 at the 2005 National 2YO Sale. The tough as teak mare, a full sister to legendary champion Pocket Power, earned over R3.5 million in South Africa, where her 12 wins included the G1 J&B Met. Sent overseas, River Jetez landed the G2 Balanchine Stakes in Dubai and placed in three major international G1 features. Not all the champions sold at the sale are cheapies, however. In 2010, a magnificent colt by Dynasty was sold for a record breaking R1 mil-
lion. Subsequently named Jackson, the colt went on to win three Grade 1 races – Investec Cape Derby, Daily News 2000 and Champions Cup –and earned connections more than R2.3 million in stakes. Jackson is currently a very popular stallion at Highlands, and has his first foal on the ground this month. Other major G1 winners sold at the National 2YO Sale in years gone by include the outstanding international performers Cerise Cherry, Dane Julia, Irridescence, and Lizarre. The sale has also produced numerous local G1 winners including last season’s outstanding juvenile Arabian Beat. Bred by the Ascot Stud, Arabian Beat, who cost just R70 000 at the 2014 2YO Sale, won three of five outings, including the G1 SA Nursery, and looks an exciting prospect for the season ahead. This year’s 346 strong catalogue also includes a smattering of fillies and mares sold in training. All South Africa’s elite stallions have juveniles on offer at the 2YO Sale. Captain Al has three, Dynasty eight, Kahal six, Silvano four, Trippi three, and Var five. Intriguingly, there is also one
lot by European Champion Sprinter and five time Group One winner Dream Ahead, who rated 133 with Timeform. This colt (lot 327, in the supplementary catalogue) is from his sire’s first crop, and out of a Rock Of Gibraltar half sister to an Australian G2 winner.
