SPORTING POST Cape Premier Yearling Sale Feature • Friday 10th - Sunday 12th January 2020

The tenth renewal of the unique inner-city sale within the shadow of Table Mountain will be held amid the positive sentiment prevailing around the news that we are probably the closest we have been to open exports.

While the bureaucracy and red tape of the official EU audit is still a few months away, the ray of sunlight beamed by the recent announcement will lift the spirits of vendors and buyers as the quest for champions begins at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on Thursday 16 January.

The movement game-changer introduces a possible Black Friday mentality as lower-budget prospective buyers may see this as a final opportunity to buy the Ferrari at Fiat prices, with the dollar armed international buyers likely to sit up and get shopping in 2021.

While an influx of overseas cheque-books is likely, whatever your viewpoint, there is no question that many champions have been bought for a relative song and the astute local bench buyer has the opportunity now to buy right and turn a nice profit with the right horse.

And the quality of the 232 lots gracing the pages of the 2020 CPYS catalogue is as good as anything we have seen here. With history boasting a proud 36 individual Gr1 winners and 156 stakes winning graduates from this very platform, there is little to prove.

The 2018 Sale crop turned 3 just four months ago, so considering the seven years prior to 2018 we find 156 stakes winners from 1740 horses catalogued – that’s more than 10% stakes winners to horses catalogued.

The sire power next week is exciting with ten yearlings by multiple

champion Silvano, twelve by 2016 SA champion Trippi, eight by evergreen Avontuur superstar Var, six by the classic champion Dynasty, and a single lot by Aussie-based Zoffany, who sired Royal Ascot winners in his first crop and whose progeny sold last year for up to €490,000.

As for the next generation of champion sires, the line-up includes twenty of Gimmethegreenlight’s best, thirteen Querari’s and twenty three What A Winter’s.

Four exciting freshman sires will also be well represented represented with Quasillo, the ‘Thunder From Down Under’ Rafeef, Birch Bro’s resident Red Ray, and a very likely heir to the Captain Al throne in William Longsword.

The quartet will attract plenty of interest.
