A multiple Group One winner himself, Turffontein is already siring multiple Group winners with just two crops of racing age so far. In fact his progeny have already won six stakes races in the current racing season!
In a year
littered with successful young stallions like Medaglia d'Oro, I Am Invincible,
Manhattan Rain, Nicconi, Denman, etc., no second season sire has more stakes
wins than Turffontein and only Medaglia d'Oro has more individual stakes
winners.
From Turffontein's first crop came current 3YO Fontein Ruby (Pictured) who is
just as tough and as genuine as they come.

After winning the VRC Edward
Manifold Stakes (Gr2) and the MRC Autumn Classic (Gr3) last Spring , Fontein
Ruby's win in last Friday nights MVRC Alexandra Stakes (LR) shows that she is
right on target for the upcoming SAJC Australasian Oaks (Gr1). Fontein Ruby has
so far won five races from 1200 to 2000 metres and $880,370 in stakes.
Turffontein has only had four runners from his second crop but amongst them is the brilliant two year old Fontiton.

A completely dominant six length winner of
the MVRC Inglis Banner (RL) on WS Cox Plate day, Fontiton came back in the
Autumn to win the MRC Blue Diamond Preview (Gr3) followed by the Blue Diamond
Prelude (Gr2) before starting an undefeated short priced favourite in the Blue
Diamond Stakes (Gr1). She came out of that race a little the worse for wear
suffering heat stress and a joint injury so her effort to finish a fighting
fifth was still first class. She will be back in the Spring as a 3YO, bigger
and better than ever.
Sales results for a stallion with progeny of racing age go hand in hand with racetrack performance. Turffontein's third crop yearlings have this year fetched up to $170,000 with two colts and a filly both realising over $100,000. All these wonderful results point to Turffontein representing terrific value in 2015.
