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.<\/p>\n
Exciting incentives are in place and buyers and trainers can look forward to finding the horse of their dreams at the sale.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The races over 1 400m will be in Johannesburg in February 2015, Cape Town in 2016 and Durban in 2017.<\/p>\n
The trainer of the horse that wins the most prize money will receive a bonus of R1 million.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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,\u201d said Adrian Todd of CTS.<\/p>\n
