WILLIAM LONGSWORD COLT TOPS CTS SALE

by | Dec 1, 2020 | Sales

Klawervlei Stud’s Cape Guineas winning sire WILLIAM LONGSWORD (Captain Al) proved the star attraction at the recently held CTS Ready To Run, Unbroken 2 Year Old & Mixed Sale.

The brilliant son of Captain Al was responsible for the online sale’s top lot sold, in the form of the well related colt INCREDIBILL (Lot 63). The latter, consigned to the sale by Soetendal Estate, As Agent, was knocked down to Rickesh Sewgoolam for R475 000.

This was not the first time that William Longsword has made waves in the sales ring, with William Longsword ending the 2020 Cape Premier Yearling Sale as that sale’s Leading First Crop Sire by Aggregate.

A winner of six of just eight starts, including both the G1 Cape Guineas and CTS Mile, William Longsword is set to have his very first runner this week when his two-year-old daughter ROSE OF BAYEAUX makes her debut at Turffontein this Thursday.

William Longsword, who shares his late, great sire with current boom 3yos ERIK THE RED and MALMOOS, is a half-brother to G1 winning sprinter REAL PRINCESS (Trippi) and Wolf Power 1600 hero SILVER GOD (Silvano).

SMART WINNER FOR POMODORO

SMART WINNER FOR POMODORO

by | Nov 27, 2020 | Racing Results

Klawervlei Stud’s Vodacom Durban July winning sire POMODORO (Jet Master), whose son CORNISH POMODORO lines up in Saturday’s G1 World Sports Betting Gauteng Summer Cup, had an eye catching winner at the Vaal racecourse on Tuesday.

His son PUTONTHEREDLIGHT, one of the better two-year-olds of his generation, followed up two good latest runs when he stormed home to score by a length and three-quarters, while scoring over 1400m.

Bred by Klawervlei Stud, Putontheredlight, trained by Sean Tarry and owned by Chris Van Niekerk-as was his sire, had shown smart form earlier in his career and ran second in the 2019 G2 Durban Golden Horseshoe.

His sire POMODORO, South Africa’s Leading First Season Sire of 2017-2018, has made a cracking start to his stud career with the son of Jet Master already responsible for the likes of champion RETURN FLIGHT and fellow graded stakes winners CIRILLO and GOLDEN BELLE.

Pomodoro has five lots on the upcoming CTS Ready To Run, Unbroken 2 Year Old & Mixed Sale.
