We managed to pick up two cracking colts at this years CTS Cape Premier Yearling Sale, which took place at the CTICC last Thursday 16th January 2020. Both horses have superior pedigrees and were extremely well turned out by their respective breeders. See more about them here.

Next up was lot 165, a smashing son of Dynasty out of the blue blooded mare Chevauchee (AUS). Despite the fact that this is her first foal, she has produced a cracking specimen of a colt and considering she was a duel Listed Stakes winner (Kenilworth Ladies Mile L, Olympic Duel Stakes L), there is plenty of class all all round.

Sire: Dynasty
Dam: Chevauchee (AUS)
Damsire: High Chaparral (IRE)
DOB: 21 September 2018
Breeder: Ridgemont Highlands Stud
