Trainers will have a good reason now to get their clients to buy horses at the Cape Premier Yearling Sale (Book 2) at the Durbanville Racecourse in Cape Town on March 23 and 24.
Exciting incentives are in place and buyers and trainers can look forward to finding the horse of their dreams at the sale.
At a media briefing on Monday at Emperors Palace the Cape Thoroughbred Sales (CTS) announced a new Challenge Series for Graduates of its Book 2 sale.
The CTS have brought new life to the bloodstock sales industry with bold innovative moves like the hosting of the first ever inner city sale.
In the new series, three crops of qualifying yearlings from the 2013, 2014 and 2015 Cape Premier Yearling Sale Book 2 will be competing in three three-year-old races for a total of R7.5 million in prize money.
The races over 1 400m will be in Johannesburg in February 2015, Cape Town in 2016 and Durban in 2017.
The trainer of the horse that wins the most prize money will receive a bonus of R1 million.
“The CTS is striving to improve the market place for buyers and vendors. We believe this Challenge Series is a great incentive for all buyers and vendors of our Book 2 sale,” said Adrian Todd of CTS.
