EMPERORS “CUP” BY SIRE : A FEW REVELATIONS

OF KAHAL, MUHTAFAL, LABEEB AND MALHUB

You might have expected it, but even so, fifteen out of sixteen of the entries in any field for R1,5 million, is an astonishing number, no matter how you judge it. That’s the story for Saturday’s big race, insofar as graduates from last year’s Summerhill Ready To Run draft, are concerned.

Four of them are by Kahal, whose already supplied a winner of the event, two by Muhtafal (likewise, sire of a previous winner), and there are three each by the late lamented Labeeb, and the surprise package of this year, Malhub, who is certainly an expanding influence with his second crop.

While Labeeb is no longer around, the other three have healthy representations in Sunday’s sale.

SOUTH AFRICA IS BEHIND US

(Please click above to enlarge…)

“BECAUSE SOUTH AFRICANS KNOW WE’RE BEHIND THEM ALL THE WAY”

Last year, we proclaimed our faith in the foresight and courage of our countrymen, as the world stared financial adversity in the face. We were right.

But we were also on the button in recognising that our compatriots know a good thing when they see it. Excellent quality, great dependability, outstanding value. That’s the Summerhill racehorse.

South Africans also know the look of a trailblazer, of an innovator that has the capacity to change lives. A Champion that delivers on its promises.

This year, our customers will be competing for the nation’s fourth richest prize in racing, the R1,5million Emperors Palace Ready to Run Cup. They kept the faith, and nobody deserves it more.

The next day, they get the chance to play it again. For the next crop of Champions, the racehorse that’s delivered up Championships with greater regularity than any other in modern times.

SOUTH AFRICA : Unshakeable, Untameable, Unbeatable

“Click image above to view full screen”

As the Emperors Palace Ready To Run Sale approached, we repeatedly spoke of our unshakeable belief in the courage and foresight of our fellow South Africans.

There were many who might’ve felt we were overly optimistic. But overcoming adversity is not new to our countrymen. We’ve had to deal with major crises in the past, and we know what it takes.

While the outcome of the Sale exceeded our expectations, it was just another great case of South Africa at work. People looking forward, knowing that next year is next year, that there’ll still be Julys, Mets and Summer Cups to be won.

People with vision, with guts and a love of our game. Like few others anywhere.

Racing people appreciating good horses, fine horsemanship and relishing the challenge. For the lion’s share of the spoils at next year’s “Emperors Cup”. For a million and a half.

So from the Number One Farm in South Africa to the Number One Nation on Earth, Thank You.
