Lot 73 – Elusive Butterfly x Hawwaam

Lot 73: The Dream is Real. The Blood is Royal.

In the world of racing’s elite, some bloodlines speak louder than words. And some colts arrive not just with promise — but with destiny etched into every stride. Lot 73, a regal colt by Hawwaam out of Elusive Butterfly, is bred not just to race — but to reign.

The Sire: A Force of Nature — and of the Market

Sired by the legendary Silvano, Hawwaam has already taken his place among the greats.

• Equus Champion 3YO Colt of his generation
• 10 wins from just 13 starts, including four Gr.1 titles
• A half-brother to Rainbow Bridge and Golden Ducat — both dual Gr.1 winners
• From the same male line as Vercingetorix, South Africa’s most in-demand sire today

In 2025, Hawwaam’s first yearlings made waves — with individuals selling for up to R1.6 million at the National Yearling Sale. The market believes. The bloodline delivers.

The Dam Line: Quiet Class with Explosive Depth

Out of Elusive Butterfly, a daughter of Elusive Fort, this colt carries the same Elusive Fort × Captain Al cross that produced stakes-winning sprinter Freedom Charter. But the real firepower runs deeper.

This colt’s maternal line traces directly to:

• African Appeal – Gr.1 Champions Cup winner
• Brave Mary – Gr.1 Allan Robertson Champion
• Takingthepeace – Gr.1 SA Fillies Classic & Guineas winner, now dam of Take No Prisoners
• Inviting – Stakes performer and founding mare of this rich black-type family

Gr.1 Winner – Brave Mary

Even more compelling, Rambo Dancer, the broodmare sire of Takingthepeace, is also the broodmare sire of Hawwaam’s dam Halfway To Heaven — a powerful genetic reinforcement. This colt is bred on patterns that repeat success — and destined for the highest levels of the game.

A Rare Offering. A Racing Experience Unlike Any Other

Owning Lot 73 isn’t about having a horse in training.
It’s about staking your place in history.
It’s about the thunder of hooves, the champagne moments, and the sense of watching something magnificent unfold — knowing it belongs to you.

This colt offers you not just a chance at Group success — but an emotional journey, an elite experience, and the status of owning a son of a Triple Gr.1 winner from a family dripping with class.

Boland Stud invites you to dream boldly.
And to act decisively.

Lot 73 is waiting. So is the winner’s circle.
