When it comes to luxury and prestige in the world of horse racing, few opportunities compare to owning a racehorse with a lineage of champions. At Boland Stud, we are thrilled to present a once-in-a-lifetime chance to acquire an exquisitely bred Querari filly, Lot 176, at the upcoming August Two Year Old Sale. This filly embodies the pinnacle of racing excellence and promises to be a cornerstone of any elite racing stable.
Introducing Lot 176: The Crown Jewel of Racing Pedigree
A Legacy of Champions
Descendants of the illustrious Sword Dancer mare Phif have made a significant impact on the South African turf. Phif’s granddaughter, Sunshine Lover, was honoured as the Equus Champion Broodmare in 2011. Sunshine Lover produced not one, but two Gr.1 Cape Fillies Guineas winners: the champion Captain’s Lover and the multiple Gr.1 winner Ebony Flyer. Moreover, her broodmare daughter Cupid has furthered this legacy by producing three stakes winners, each sired by different stallions. Notably, Cupid’s progeny include:
- Vardy: Gr.1 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate winner and Equus Champion
- Universal: Gr.3 Politician Stakes winner
- Eros’s Girl: Listed East Cape Oaks winner
Cupid’s Gimmethegreenlight filly also made headlines at the 2024 Cape Premier Yearling Sale, fetching an impressive R950,000.
A Proven Lineage
Sunshine Lover’s family isn’t the only line of distinction descended from Phif. The lineage also boasts high-class gallopers such as Delaware Park, Joshua’s Dream, and Fulcrum. This heritage ensures that Lot 176 is primed for greatness, combining the best of pedigree and performance.

Querari’s Progeny
Sired by Querari, South Africa’s former Leading Sire of 2YOs with over 40 stakes winners, Lot 176 comes from a sire line known for producing winners. Querari’s offspring are renowned for their speed, stamina, and versatility, making them formidable competitors on the racetrack.
Joshlin: A Proven Performer and Producer
The dam of Lot 176, Joshlin, is a three-parts sister to Gr.3 Matchem Stakes winner Joshua’s Dream. Joshlin herself was a standout on the track, winning four of her ten starts. Her victories include the Gr.2 Sceptre Stakes, where she bested notable contenders such as Rat Burana and Nania, and the Gr.3 Diana Stakes, where she triumphed over her champion relative Captain’s Lover.
At stud, Joshlin has continued to demonstrate her class, producing four winners to date. Her standout progeny include:
- Jimmy Don: Listed Secretariat Stakes winner and runner-up in the 2023 Gr.1 World Sports Betting SA Classic, where he was beaten by just a length. Jimmy Don also placed third in the 2023 Gr.3 Byerley Turk, showcasing his consistency and competitiveness.
