Stud will partner New Zealand-based gavelhouse.com for SA’s first online sale
With two Durban July victories in the past decade and numerous grade 1 trophies in his cabinet, one might say Chris van Niekerk could be ready to take his foot off racing’s accelerator pedal.
Originally a total of 160 yearlings — exclusively from Klawervlei — were set to be sold on June 21 with prospective buyers submitting their bids for four days from the 17th. “With so much uncertainty in the world, we felt an online approach may be the way forward. We are excited to have entries from leading stud farms in the Western Cape and look forward to partnering this initiative with them,” said Knowles.MD Haylie Martin said: “We are excited to be showcasing our platform in another jurisdiction. Going global is something we’ve wanted to do for some time.”
It is interesting to hear the view of Australian breeder Tony Bott ahead of the Inglis sale: “We are in uncharted water and I’d probably rather be a buyer than a vendor at this stage. But this is what it is and we’ve got to make the most of it.”
