Thoroughbred yearlings auction
Top thoroughbreds will be on sale at this week's KZN Yearling Sale.
SUNCOAST Casino will host the annual KZN Yearling Sale onThursday and Friday, 2 and 3 July.
One of South Africa’s premier thoroughbred auctions, the Suncoast KZN Yearling Sale offers buyers the chance to acquire a thoroughbred likely to compete in a R1 million race in 2016, with all graduates of this exceptional value for money sale automatically qualifying to run in the KZN Yearling Sale Million on Vodacom Durban July day next year.
In recent years, the sale has unleashed a torrent of subsequent stars, most prominent being SASCOC Triple Crown winner, and Sansui Summer Cup hero Louis The King. A R55 000 buy from the 2012 KZN Sale, Louis The King recently retired from the racetrack, having won or placed in nine major feature races and earned in excess of R5 million.
“Suncoast is proud to have partnered with the KZN Yearling Sales for the past five years, it is an event that adds excitement to the upcoming horse racing season,” said marketing manager of Suncoast, Louise Howell.
