Whilst this weekend was a quiet one for the competition, the inaugural running of the KZN Breeders Million Mile, took place at Greyville Racecourse on Sunday, 01 July. Entry into the race was exclusively for KZN Bred three and four year olds registered with Gold Circle’s Breeder’s Premium Scheme and this year was won by Knock On Wood (Muhtafal), trained and part-owned by Ormond Ferraris whose son, David, was the other shareholder. Jockey Bernard Fayd’Herbe got the bay gelding home ahead of Black Wing and The Mouseketeer. The 4 year old who was purchased for R140 000 from breeder George Rowles’ Ivanhoe Stud at the 2009 sale pocketed a cool R625 000, taking his career earnings to R928 000.
Next year, Gold Circle will introduce an exciting new two year old race on July Day, a non-Black Type Stakes race worth R1million for graduates bought at the 2012 Suncoast KZN Yearling Sale with further incentives if successful in the subsequent KZN Breeders Million Mile races in 2014 or 2015. To stand a chance of winning your share of the R1 million purse in 2013, you must find your dream horse at this year’s sale which will be held at Suncoast Casino on Thursday, 05 and Friday, 06
