Ceres farm, the Daytona Stud, will be offering three well bred colts at this year’s Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale.

Daytona, breeders of such standout performers as Sport’s Chestnut, Tiza and What A Winter, will be offering yearlings sired by such popular stallions as Rafeef, Soft Falling Rain and Twice Over.

Short-lived Equus Champion Soft Falling Rain is represented in Daytona’s National Sale draft by Admiral Dooley (Lot 265), a half-brother to two smart winners including speedy Bauhinia Handicap runner up Pretty Penny.

This colt is out of Off To Stud Handicap winner Magic Penny, herself a daughter of multiple champion sire Silvano and the very fast G3 National Sprint Handicap winner Lady Lexington.

Kashime (Lot 290), is a colt from the first crop of the Redoute’s Choice sired G1 Computaform Sprint winner Rafeef, himself a full-brother to Equus Champion Mustaaqeem.

The regally bred Kashime is a half-brother to three stakes winners, notably graded stakes winners Miyabi Gold (G2 Gold Bracelet) and Ultimate Dollar (G3 Campanajo 2200).

Miyabi Gold recently picked up her sixth win when victorious in the Listed East Coast Cup and she has now earned more than R890 000 in prize money!

His dam Mkushi Gold is herself a stakes placed Western Winter half-sister to champion Disco Queen, G1 SA Derby runner up Big Bad John, and to the stakes placed dam of dual G1 winner, and Equus Champion, French Navy.

European champion Twice Over, whose progeny include South Africa’s reigning Horse Of The Year (and former National Sale graduate) Do It Again, is the sire of Knock Twice (Lot 409). The latter is out of the speedy Splendid Sun, a four time winner who was runner up in the Listed East Cape Breeders Stakes.

Herself a half-sister to two other black type horses, Splendid Sun’s own dam Attache is a full-sister to Olympic Duel Stakes winner Toronto Star.
