Lot 97 – Leading Dame x Silvano
Classically bred Silvano filly to wow at National Sale
Champion sire Silvano, whose daughters include South Africa’s reigning Horse Of The Year Summer Pudding, as well as the likes of Do You Remember, Field Flower, Flirtation, Happy Valentine, and Silvano’s Pride, dominated proceedings at the 2020 Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale. Silvano was responsible for all of the top five lots sold at last year’s National Sale, with his son Celestial City making R7 000 000 to top the 2020 National Yearling Sale.
It was not the first time that the five times champion South African sire had made waves at the National Sale -Silvano colt Masaki made R9 000 000 (an all time South African record for a yearling) when he topped the National Yearling Sale in 2019. Boland Stud will be offering a filly (Lot 97) by this outstanding stallion, As Agent at this year’s Emperors Palace National Yearling Sale.

Lizarre – Champion Older Horse in Singapore
Leading Dame is a granddaughter of legendary stallion Blushing Groom -whose name is found in the pedigrees of many of Silvano’s top performers including Met winner Martial Eagle, July winner, and champion, Heavy Metal, the Gr.1 winning fillies Silvano’s Pride and Orchid Island, and Gauteng Guineas winner Tellina. One of the finest stallions to stand in South Africa in recent times, Silvano’s more than 170 stakes horses include an impressive 25 individual Gr.1 winners. Could his daughter out of Leading Dame be his 26th G1 winner?
