but they did not pay 4.5 as it's a buy back so only commission and entry fee

Oops - must have suffered a blonde moment (td)

Coud have sold it and banked R4,250mill...not sure this is part of the $1mill series. Think that only kicks off with Cape Prem Yearling Sale

....RTR race prize is only 2 BAR

Team Valor owns a stakes winning full sister that is now in foal for the first time. Yippee.

In that case he should wake up this morning thanking his lucky stars that he never had to fork out the 4 bar - imo

.....not his own money....new "patron" A van Vuuren.......they spent quite a few BAR in any case.....:

I'm glad he did not get it because pressure horses like that are not worth the bother - Cotton wool sales go up the minute you sign the buying slip
