Lammerskraal’s red hot sire Go Deputy looks sure to have a strong hand in the Gr3 Betting World Algoa Cup, which will be run at Fairview on October 30th.
Deputy Minister’s G1 winning son has no fewer than seven runners entered for this R350 000 contest (the most important race run in the Eastern Cape) –or nearly 20% of the entries are sired by Go Deputy!
The latter’s entries for the Algoa Cup are recent feature race winner Alpine Ridge, Arezzo, Current Event, East Cape champion Gogetthesheriff, Penteliko, Pioneer Spirit and Welsh Emperor.
Go Deputy enjoyed a magnificent season in 2015-2016, when his runners included Triple Crown winner Abashiri and the top class fillies Flying Ice and Deputy Ryder.
The former millionaire has three well related lots on offer at next week’s CTS Ready To Run Sale Presented by Lanzerac Hotel & Spa:
Lot 70 –this regally bred gelding (a three parts brother to Adobe Pink) is a half brother to five winners including recent winner and G3 performer Mr Roy. His second dam is the late, great mare Nacarat –dam of G1 winners Nania and Red Ray as well as G2 winner Brutal Force –who was bought back for a then record price of R4.5 million at the 2013 Ready To Run Sale
Lot 96 – out of a three time winning daughter of Western Winter, this filly is a three parts sister to G3 winner Current Event and is also very closely related to Go Deputy’s dual G1 winner and Triple Crown winning son Abashiri, and her dam is a three parts sister to former Horse Of The Year Yard-Arm
Lot 118 – out of a four time winning Western Winter half sister to stakes winning 2yo Juan Two Three as well as the very talented filly Counter Ridge, this filly is from the same family as former Equus Champion Filly National Bay
