Turffontein Standside Track looks spectacular ahead of tomorrow’s Champion Day. Well done to 4Racing track staff for their hard work- it hasn’t been easy with the amount of rain Joburg has experienced over the last few weeks. Looking forward to seeing all the Champions!

GREENLIGHT TO SHINE ON CAMARGUE STUD’S NATIONAL DRAFT

Got The Greenlight was a superb racehorse with a pedigree to match.

The five time G1 winning son of multiple champion sire Gimmethegreenlight will be represented by his first National Sale yearlings in 2026, and they will, no doubt, attract plenty of interest. An Equus Champion at two and three, Got The Greenlight won all of the G1 Premiers Champion Stakes, G1 SA Classic, G1 Daily News 2000, G1 H F Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes and G1 Racing Premier’s Champions Challenge. (Prominent sires to have won the Daily News 2000 include Dynasty, Vercingetorix and Legislate).

Camargue Stud will be offering two fillies by this outstanding racehorse at the National Sale, and Brett Van Laun is very pleased with what Got The Greenlight has produced. He said, “Our two Got The Greenlight fillies are exceptional! He really puts quality into his offspring, and I think these two fillies are collector items.”

Brett had the following to say about the remainder of his National Sale string:

A tough Day 1 at the Bloodstock South Africa yearling sales being underbidders on a few- but as I say- you only need 1 horse. We’ve done it many times - and we still compete at the highest level! Looking forward to Day 2.
