The CTS Mares, Fillies For Stud and Weanling Sale scheduled for Friday, 24 June at Kenilworth Racecourse has drawn 130 high quality tons in whole, and {the catalogue} has been printed on-line.
Internationally, the 2 prongs to pinhooking contain the acquisition of weanlings for later sale as yearlings, or the acquisition of yearlings for ready-to-run auctions. Each practitioner of the darkish artwork has tales of their best successes, whether or not turning a wonderful revenue, or discovering a graded stakes-winner, writes Oscar Foulkes.

Shopping for for RTR has been the dominant type of pinhooking in South Africa, with many alternatives to purchase yearlings – though I discovered future Gr2 stakes-winner Wonderwall on a broodmare sale.
The weanling to yearling market has been a lot much less energetic, but it surely has its personal tales, none greater than the acquisition of Vercingetorix as a weanling by the Riverton grooms, and his sale as a yearling for R1.4 million.
This week’s CTS public sale is an try and develop that market, each on the a part of the gross sales firm, and by the distributors.
We don’t but know if that market will ever develop to the extent of pinhooking for RTR, but when we don’t make high quality weanlings obtainable, we’ll by no means know.
Lot 86 – Erupt ex Desires Are Made
In my view, the weanlings on supply this week are a honest try and just do that. Talking as a vendor, I’ve chosen weanlings at quite a lot of value ranges, all the way in which as much as choose sale, to offer the idea each probability of discovering its pure place out there. I consider that different distributors have executed the identical.
Purchasers might be merchants seeking to flip a revenue, or homeowners/trainers aiming to get high prospects at a diminished price.
Starting on the high of the heap, the Futura colt we’re providing this week has hundreds going for him. Firstly, he’s a good-sized, robust colt with actual presence. Secondly, and maybe extra importantly, there’s his pedigree, which is extraordinarily topical. He’s a half-brother to Grinkov, who’s working within the Grade II Golden Horseshoe on Hollywoodbets Durban July day.
Have you ever seen the most recent SPRINT?
Additionally a effectively above common two- year-old from the household is Return To Russia, who’s out of his half-sister. His dam is a half- sister to Mom Russia, making his web page jam-packed with significantly high-quality black sort … and one that might develop in stature between now and gross sales time.
From the primary crop of One World, now we have a powerful trying colt out of a half-sister to Cape Flying Championship winner Sergeant Hardy. He’s obtained measurement, high quality, scope, and he strikes very effectively.
Lot 102 – Potala Palace ex Prima Donna
From tiny crops, Potala Palace has bred Grade I winners out of the worst mares within the Stud E-book. We couldn’t be happier with the tall, scopey colt out of Prima Donna. Along with his darkish colouring and top quality, he’s certain to make an impression within the gross sales ring as a yearling.
Additionally by Potala Palace is the primary foal of a four-time successful What A Winter mare. He’s going to turn into an athletic, neat, top quality yearling.
We’ve one filly. She’s by Futura, the sire of first and second within the Gr2 Monitor And Ball Oaks at Hollywoodbets Scottsville. She’s a backward November foal with a great deal of enchancment to come back.
Lastly, there’s an Erupt colt out of a well-related Australian mare. He’s an absolute speedball; if he’d been foaled Down Underneath he’d be a Golden Slipper candidate. He’s from the instant household of Champion Sire I Am Invincible. Erupt has made an auspicious begin to his profession, producing a stunning diploma of early velocity contemplating that he was a 2400m GrI winnner.
After all, Vercingetorix was not the one future Champion Sire to be offered at this stage. The Devines purchased Jet Grasp as a weanling for simply R15 000. I’m not suggesting that Friday’s catalogue comprises a future stallion, however it might be a worthwhile path to GrI glory.
