BLOODSTOCK SOUTH AFRICA WEBSITE UNTANGLES THIS YEAR'S NATIONALS FOR YOU

With just a week to go, interest in the Emperor's Palace National Yearling
Sale 2012 has reached fever pitch. Many are wanting to know more about the
sale and fortunately the TBA have a masterful website which is effectively a
one-stop shop for information pertaining to the big event.

www.tba.co.za is the place to surf your way to. First and foremost, if you
do not have a catalogue there are various forms of catalogue for you to
download including the Equiline I-pad application which has proved very
popular in South Africa in the last 12 months for all those lucky enough to
own a tablet. There are a host of tips on how to select yearlings from the
catalogue including latest news releases involving former graduates from
Bloodstock South Africa sales. If you intend buying this year, there are
instructions on how to obtain a buyer's card and this year there are
fantastic prizes up for grabs for random buyer's card holders on both days
of the sale. It is vitally important to beat the rush and to secure your
buyer's card before the start of the sale as there are administrative
formalities to be concluded too and this will avoid any disappointment on
the opening day. You can also have a look at all the past results of all
sales conducted under BSA and this always makes for interesting reading.

The added attraction for the website this year is that the sale will be
covered live on both days via their webcams. So for those of you who are not
able to be up in Johannesburg you will not miss any of the action from the
sales ring. Keep in touch with the heartbeat of the sales ring by logging on
to www.tba.co.za on Friday 27th April and Sunday 29th April from 1100a.m.
For any interested party who does want to come to Germiston, full directions
are available on the website including a map.

Viewing of yearlings at the sales grounds commences this weekend on Sunday
22nd April and that is when the excitement really kicks in. The yearlings
can be viewed in spacious barns at the back of the main complex and the
catalogue has a clear and concise stable plan ensuring easy navigation to
the yearling that you are interested in. Take advantage of viewing the
horses moving freely as they come out on the walkways at least twice a day.
Here you will be able to see your picks in a completely relaxed environment
enjoying the natural surroundings.

It's all about quality bloodstock at affordable prices. Your chance to
secure the next South African equine champion. The Emperor's Palace National
Yearling Sales is the place to be next weekend.

For more information contact Bloodstock South Africa's Caroline Simpson or
Tom Callaghan on 0113235700.

Guys
Please send your address's!
I will gladly send you catalogues - I am not sure why you are not on our mailing list but I am keen to add you.

Re advertising - we are spending within a budget as we are trying to make money to invest into solving our export issues and start exporting horses - the way to save our market!

Why don't you grumpy buggers come and have a drink with me at the NYS and we can solve the problems of the world together?!(tu)

Not grumpy - merely stating a fact - just find it strange that the Cape boys managed to find my address, while the BSA people have not.:S

Not in the market currently (kids probably out of the house in the next 10 to 12 years - lol), but may pop round for that drink anyway :)-D

Certainly have not received a catologue and I can't recall having received a letter (but I might have and just binned it).

But I can confirm that I have received (at 17:13 yesterday ;) an email with an 'invitation to attend' - and to be fair it looks like there is more of an effort this year than in previous years (tu)
