CRS Winter Yearling Sale Vendor Promotion: Hopes and Dreams Stud

Basie and Suzette Viljoen’s Hopes and Dreams Stud despatch four babies to the Cape Racing Winter Yearling Sale.

The auction takes place on Thursday, 6th June at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth.

Hopes and Dreams is located near Wellington and is a passionate venture for the thoroughbred- loving Viljoen’s who have expanded their interests as leading owners in South Africa to becoming commercial breeders.

Lot 61, Royal Clinton is a bay Royal Mo colt out of six-time winning dam Sea Bean. Royal Mo’s best representative to date is ace miler Royal Aussie, who struck paydirt in the Gold Rush and has since gone on to further honours at the top level. Sea Bean was versatile, winning on the sand and turf between 1400m and 2200m.

Lot 79 is a Captain of All filly, out of a daughter of Master of my Fate. The stallion’s best progeny are Stakes winners Linebacker and Shango. This is dam, Underthemistletoe’s first foal – encouragingly the third and fourth dam’s, Whatsinakiss and Kiss of Peace were prolific and successful producers.

Freshman sire Erik the Red, who was a precocious and talented sprint winner of the Cape Merchants, is represented by speedy Valeriana’s first foal. The bay filly is listed as Lot 80.

Following in quick succession (Lot 82) is super-fast five- time winning mare, Via Sacra’s first foal by Captain of All, a Grade 1 winning sprinter. The pedigree suggests that this youngster is built for speed.

The Pinhook incentive scheme, introduced in 2023, will again be a sale feature. The incentive allows speculators to make purchases at this sale while only having to pay for the stock once selling at the Breeze Up Sale in October.

Please note, all graduates qualify for the CRS Juvenile bonus, which pays R100,000 to the winning connections.
