Elevate Your Legacy: Acquire a Premier Hawwaam Filly from Boland Stud
In the refined realm of luxury racehorse ownership, the opportunity to possess a racehorse of unparalleled pedigree and potential is a rare and highly coveted privilege. Boland Stud is delighted to present such an extraordinary opportunity with Lot 251, a distinguished filly by the champion sire Hawwaam, at the upcoming August Two Year Old Sale. This acquisition is not merely a purchase but an investment in a legacy of excellence, performance, and prestigious lineage.
Hawwaam: South Africa’s Next Top Sire
Hawwaam, a five-time Gr.1 winner, stands poised to become one of South Africa’s leading stallions. Sharing his lineage with the six-time champion South African sire Silvano, Hawwaam’s credentials are impeccable. His half-brother Vercingetorix, another prodigy of Silvano, has already produced elite progeny, including the 2024 Gr.1 Hollywoodbets Durban July winner Oriental Charm.
A Champion Lineage
Hawwaam hails from a remarkable family, being one of three Gr.1 winners produced by his dam, Halfway To Heaven. This illustrious mare, a Gr.3 Prix du Cap and Listed Off To Stud Handicap winner, has been crowned Broodmare Of The Year for three consecutive seasons: 2018-2019, 2019-2020, and 2020-2021.
Among Halfway To Heaven’s celebrated offspring are:
- Golden Ducat: Dual Gr.1 winner, showcasing the family’s consistency in producing top-tier racehorses.
- Rainbow Bridge: Champion and Horse Of The Year, Rainbow Bridge boasts 11 wins, including two Gr.1 Met victories and multiple graded stakes triumphs.
Hawwaam himself has an impressive record, having clinched victories in prestigious races such as the Gr.1 Daily News 2000, Gr.1 SA Classic, Gr.1 H F Oppenheimer Horse Chestnut Stakes, and two Gr.1 Premier’s Champions Challenges.
Hawwaam’s Impact at the Sales
Hawwaam’s first yearlings made a sensational debut in 2024, with yearlings commanding up to R2,000,000 at the Cape Racing Premier Yearling Sale and up to R5,000,000 at the National Yearling Sale. The average sale price for Hawwaam yearlings was an impressive R1,040,625, underscoring his burgeoning reputation as a sire of exceptional value.
