Hong Kong Jockey Club Acquire Maine Chance Sale Topper

Cape Racing's Thoroughbred sales division held their second auction. The sale was held in the Mother City for the first time in two years. It was organised for Tattersalls for 2023 renewal. Silvano colt Silver Coin was sold for R6 million in 2016.

Hong Kong Jockey Club Acquires Maine Chance Sale Topper at Cape Racing's second auction. The sale was held over two days and was organised for the 2023 renewal by Tattersalls. Top-priced lot of the day was the R3 800 000 paid for Maine Farm’s Valley Of the Kings by Justin Vermaak. The inaugural R1,25 million Cape racing slipper will be run on Met day 2024. Betting on the tote is down nationally since August 2022, but up in Cape. There are 15% fewer races and 9% more races in the Cape since 2022.

The cosmopolitan ambiance of Cape Town provides an inspirational backdrop to the serious business of buying future champions.
