Lot 10 – Red Label x Futura

Prepare to discover a pearl of the future in the heart of Boland Stud’s exceptional draft.

Futura, the former South African Horse Of The Year and a four-time Gr.1 winner, showcased his magnificence in the 2022-2023 season. This illustrious son of Dynasty left an indelible mark by siring six individual stakes winners, who collectively triumphed in eight black-type races across South Africa.

The shining star of Futura’s progeny in 2022-2023 was undoubtedly Future Pearl, who claimed the title of South Africa’s Champion Stayer for the past season. Future Pearl’s remarkable victories in the Gr.3 WSB Gold Bowl, Gr.3 DStv Gold Vase, and Gr.3 World Pool Gold Cup attest to her extraordinary talent. With earnings surpassing R1.192 million and an entry into the prestigious R5 000 000 Gr.1 Betway Summer Cup, Future Pearl promises boundless success.

But the legacy doesn’t end there. Futura’s progeny also include last season’s Gr.3 Politician Stakes victor Rockpool, along with fellow stakes winners Dawnofanewday, Ekoria, Future Girl, and Thefutureisbright. Futura’s name resonates with excellence. Now, Boland Stud, renowned for breeding champions, presents Lot 10—a colt sired by the illustrious Futura—at the upcoming November Two-Year-Old Sale. This colt embodies promise and pedigree. A half-brother to two winners, notably the recent Hollywoodbets Greyville victor Red Roses Too, this colt is the offspring of the accomplished racemare Red Label. Red Label, a granddaughter of the legendary stallion Danehill, boasts five victories spanning distances from 100m to 1400m and clinched second place in the Listed Off To Stud Stakes. Red Label’s lineage traces back to the illustrious Elliodor mare Royal Reserve, a three-parts sister to the unbeaten champion Private Reserve. Private Reserve, a daughter of Elliodor’s outstanding son Model Man, achieved victory in the Gr.1 Mondi SA Nursery and Gr.1 Allan Robertson Fillies Championship, earning the title of Equus Champion 2YO Filly in 1998. Royal Reserve’s dam, Devious, a daughter of the superb broodmare sire Del Sarto, clinched victory seven times and secured second place in the Gr.3 Ashburton Training Centre Handicap and third place in the Gr.2 Administrators Stakes.

This distinguished lineage also boasts connections to Gr.1 Prix Jean Prat winning sire Olden Times, Listed Cecil Frail Stakes queen Festoso (dam of this season’s very smart two-year-old filly Dorothy Lawrence), and French Gr.2 winner Dandoun. Red Label, the dam of the colt in question, carries the prestigious bloodline of Admiration, the dam of legendary racemare and producer Pretty Polly. This lineage has given rise to influential South African broodmare Sister Sublime and top-class South African stallions Preamble II and Sybil’s Nephew.
