keeping 3 of them :whistle:

Azzie Yard will be decimated if this sale if for Van Vuuren horses

Catalogue tba.co.za/bsa/catalogue.php?url=2016nmix

If you look at some of the horses for sale ,many of the older ones are perhaps understandable.
There are also a number of unraced 3 yr olds (and the odd 4yr old)which may or may not be showing anything!
...but what is significant is the many well bred 2 yr olds !!!
Will be interesting to see where VVuurens involvement in racing is going!
I wonder if there will be any media release .........surely there is an interesting story in this for a journalist somewhere!

Got to feel for Azzie and potentially the grooms that will be losing their jobs.

Purchases like Oomph , Easy Lover , Trading Profit & Penteliko are massive failures for what they paid for them?

Off the top of my mind the following aren't on the sale :

Abashiri
Lazer Star
Querari Falcon
Querari Viking
Captain Von Trapp
Rivarine

Even at discounted prices,just the costs of the "for sale" horses must exceed R500,000 per month

I hear he is an extremely good payer, vet invoice arrives one day and its settled immediately.. guy is a massive loss to the industry( if indeed he stops buying)

Working on a conservative 10k a month you are not at 50% of the figure. The question that must be asked is why is he leaving, there is more to this than meets the eye and there are some very tall stories doing the rounds.
