SPORTING POST Cape Premier Yearling Sale Supplement • Friday 18th - Sunday 20th January 2019
The 2019 streamlined version of the Cape Premier Yearling Sale looks to be a leaner and meaner real deal market place, and a likely launching pad to maintain the simmering momentum gained in the past twelve months. “I can make a General in five minutes, but a good horse is hard to replace.” Abraham Lincoln’s words ring so true.

It’s an indisputable fact that when reflecting back over our recent times, some admittedly tumultuous years in South African horseracing, people have come and gone – but really good horses are the foundation that have kept the flames burning though the nervous days and carried our flag with pride wherever in the world they have competed.
A leading international buyer told the Sporting Post of this sale last year: “They are well raised and in most instances, well presented. There’s nowhere else on earth I can go and get horses of this quality for US $25,000-50,000. In the USA, horses like this would cost five times that amount. There are some terrific looking horses here.”
The 2019 renewal has an exciting mix of top sires, from leading internationals Camelot (4), Frankel (2), Uncle Mo (2) and Zoffany (2), to South Africa’s top 5 in the last generation of Captain Al (9), Dynasty (11), Silvano (8), Trippi (6), Var (10), to beautifully bred and well performed firstseason sires Coup de Grace, And the dream of owning a good Futura, Global View, Legislate and horse is what will fill the Cape Town Louis the King.

of young horses he saw during the process and added his view of the timing of the popular event. He said: “In Australia, the Magic Millions sale is early in January and in New Zealand they have the Karaka Sale in late January. I have noticed that the South African breeders’ view of a yearling sale in January seems to be changing to the positive. They’re starting to see the benefits.” This is one of only two CTS sales programmed for 2019. “It’s a flagship event showcasing the quality that has made SA breeders respected internationally. We are proud to host the premier sales session on the African continent. I wish vendors and buyers every success,” said CTS CEO Wehann Smith.

Lots To Crowe About Scottish natives, Walter and Fran Cowe, manage respective stud farms in Robertson, both in the vicinity of Highlands Farm.
Walter is in charge at Black Swan Stud and manages most of the stud interests of owner Peter de Beyer and Fran is just down the road at Arran Stud. The studs are both represented at the 2019 Cape Premier Yearling Sale. Walter, steeped in thoroughbred breeding and stud management, worked for Lord Howard D Walden and Lord Derby before joining Sir Philip and Anthony Oppenheimer and managing their Cheveley Stud at Newmarket for 21 years. Fran, also vastly experienced at stud management, started as a work rider at Newmarket and has been around horses most of her life. Black Swan offers two fillies and
a colt and Walter says the colt (Lot 54) is “magnificent”. He is by Elusive Fort and is a half-brother to the accomplished, exported Last Winter, second in the 2017 Sun Met. “He’s is a correct foal, an excellent walker with a lovely temperament,” said Walter. The fillies are Lot 36, an unnamed What A Winter filly from a mare by Royal Applause – “she looks like a fast type, she walks well too,” and Lot 58, a halfsister by Vercingetorix to Forest Fox, from the family of Futura and Angelina. “She’s a big filly, a typical Vercingetorix and I think buyers will like her.” Fran tells about Arran’s Lot 82, Mama Pyjama: “She’s a half-sister to Graded winner Temple Grafin, a filly we’re hoping will win the CTS Sprint. She has her sire’s dark bay coat, a lovely filly. Lot 163 is Jasmine, by the much vaunted freshman Futura from Scent From Above, a half-sister to stakesplaced stayer, Alexander.
Cheveley Stud 5 yearlings on offer at the CTS Cape Premier Yearling Sale
www.FreemanStallions.co.za
Bidding to be the Best CTS CEO Wehann Smith presides over his second Cape Premier Yearling as the innovative sales company presents the ninth renewal of an annual event that turned our thoroughbred marketing landscape on its head when breaking ground in 2011.
Based in the heart of one of the world’s most beautiful cities, the Cape Premier Yearling Sale rides on the majestic back of the very best that the Mother City has to offer in a first-world experience that is sweetly timed in the week of the R5 million Sun Met – South Africa’s premier racing and social event. Smith, an actuary by qualification, was appointed CEO in September 2017. The man who founded a major insurance industry player in Kuda Holdings in 2009, brought an eclectic mix of corporate acumen, sales synergy and common sense to the CTS table – but probably most importantly, a passion for the racehorse. “It’s been an exciting ride so far. Selling thoroughbreds is a dynamic and demanding pursuit that requires flexibility, foresight and some good fortune. It’s in the nature of the game that we are subject to the vagaries of so many external uncontrollable factors. That’s why we have to have world-class housekeeping at the top of our priority list.” He concedes that while the landscape has changed in his sixteen months at the helm, very little has actually changed in terms of CTS’ customer orientated philosophies. We asked him why the move to shift the 2019 sale timing, and the shrink from two days to one. “We took a broad view of it and given all the factors, it made good sense to adapt. Many have indicated a wish to attend the Karaka Book 1 Sale in New Zealand, which starts at 15h00 on Sunday 27 January. So that was a consideration. Then the Met is an internationally renowned horse race and having our sale in the week this great race is run is an added bonus for visitors.” As regards the dropping of a second day, Smith points out that, while the fist day was historically well attended, the second session was often the poor cousin with shades of the post adrenaline ‘after-party’. “The opening was always charged with excitement.
More Variety?
Anton Shepherd of Beaumont Stud, holds the rare honour of breeding an international superstar in the form of Variety Club. He has three yearlings on offer.
One of the stalwarts of the Cape Breeding ranks, Anton was born into the racing game on the breeding side of the business. His father was one of the founder members of Knavesmire Stud and he grew up watching greats like Prince Florimund, Hawkins, Wichita, Last Dance and War Ribbon.
Then the second day was off the dizzy high and was a bit flat. We have easily managed 250 lots comfortably in a session, so Wednesday’s 226 will be no problem at all.” The recent Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale had shown the benefits of a strong international buying bench. “Yes, every sale needs a mix of local and outside buyers. In hard currency terms, the Cape Premier Yearling Sale is one of the best value sales on earth in terms of value and quality. We hear that there is some great news around the corner on the export protocol progress front. All told, we have a very attractive product and every week we see how our horses are competitive globally.” Smith says that there will definitely be an increased amount of foreign buyers here this week. He confirmed that the CTS team had made strides with their marketing efforts in the UK, France and Hong Kong. “Our inward buyer incentive has attracted plenty of interest. We breed top horses. Cape Town is an attractive visitor destination. So we try and offer an all-round package that rounds off the experience.” The logistics of getting 226 yearlings housed and settled in a city environment has been mastered by breeders. We asked if CTS were on top of things. “Yes, it was a daunting task initially, but it’s a lot smoother now. Anne Dalton of Agri-Expo has mastered the stabling and internal infrastructure. They arrive on Thursday 18 January and the entire operation has to be out and the venue handed over by Met day, 26 January. We leave that exercise to the professionals!” Smith said that the established auctioneering team of John O’Kelly, Andrew Miller and Grant Burns would be doing duty again. O’Kelly is one of the world’s most respected auctioneers. Miller is a household name at South African auctions and both vendors and buyers have been very impressed by Grant Burns’s style. On the catalogue itself, Smith said, “I know it may sound cliched, but it really is a balanced catalogue with great depth amongst the dam lines. We have the established champion sires and the exciting new men. We also have international sires in the mix. And it’s the last chance to buy a Captain Al from the Cape Premier Yearling Sale. So there may be some interesting sentimental bidding for the champion’s last 9 lots!”
Shepherd said that his unnamed son of Jackson (Lot 65), was a scopy colt bred from the Canadian mare Glowing Amber, who is a half-sister to the 2016 Preakness Stakes winner, Exaggerator. “He’s big, like his dam, and he’s a good mover,” said Shepherd. Lot 55 is a “medium-sized” son of Captain Of All. “Let’s call him the ‘pocket rocket’,” said Shepherd. He looks like speed will be his game, he will come early.” Of Lot 131, an unnamed filly by Philanthropist, he remarked: “I can’t say anything else other than ‘magnificent’. This filly is not only from the great family of Trademark and Super Brand, but she’s a half-sister to a Gr1 winner in Chestnuts N Pearls. She’s a big, quality filly, she has everything!”
