Lot 127: Colt by Horizon out of Miracle Play, by Singspiel.

Bay Colt. Foaled 05/10/2023. From Hemel 'n Aarde Stud. 70% Available. R160 000 Purchase Price. A Steal.

There are colts you buy. And then there are colts you steal from the jaws of fate. This one is the latter. By Horizon, from Miracle Play, and already destined to add his name to a bloodline that reads like it was written with gold ink on papyrus—etched into the ledgers of breeders, buyers, and bookmakers alike.

SIRELINE: Horizon (Dynasty x Shina)

There are many sons of Dynasty, but not many who carry this particular weight of destiny.

Horizon, winner of the Politician Stakes (Gr.3), placed in the Daily News 2000 (Gr.1) behind some of the greats of his generation, brings the potency of DYNASTY, whose sons have rewritten the stallion pages—Legislate, Futura, Act of War, and Jackson, to name just a few.

But what elevates Horizon above most is his dam: Shina, full-sister to SILVANO—one of the most successful stallions in South African history. Silvano’s progeny have been crowned Champions. They've reigned across the globe. That’s the bloodline Horizon passes on. No additives. No fillers. Just pure Grade 1 fuel.

Horizon is now a proven sire:

Silvonian, the full brother to this colt, has already placed in the Listed East Cape Nursery.

Scarlet Macaw, a Gr.1 performer.

Far Horizon, Blue Horizon, Calida, Mister Nibbles—they all speak for the precocity and consistency Horizon injects into his stock.

DAMLINE: Miracle Play (IRE) — and She Doesn’t Miss

Miracle Play, imported with intention, by Singspiel out of Avila, stands in a curious class of her own.

She’s already produced three winners, including two full brothers to this colt:

Silvonian: Stakes-placed juvenile, who could still go further.

Supreme Judge: A winner already

This mare gets runners. She gets them sound, she gets them fast, and she gets them winning.

And there's deeper magic in this pedigree.

Black-Type Majesty — A Pedigree That Reads Like a Pulitzer Prize winning document.

Look beneath Miracle Play and you find treasure after treasure:

DILSHAAN (GB) — Her half-brother. Winner of the Racing Post Trophy (Gr.1) and the Dante Stakes (Gr.2). A Group 1 winner at two and a Derby hopeful at three. Became a stallion himself.

DARRFONAH (GB) — Own sister to Miracle Play. Group 1 placed in France and multiple Group-placed in the UK.

Ran 2nd in the Prix Marcel Boussac (Gr.1)

3rd in the Lowther Stakes (Gr.2)

And their dam, Avila (GB), was bred in the purple—half-sister to:

NOMROOD (Gr.3 Chester Vase winner, 2nd Gr.1 Doncaster Futurity)

MONASTERY, ALLEGING, and the freakish OKTAN—11-time black-type winner in Scandinavia.

This is the family of FLEUR ROYALE, CASEY TIBBS, and MEEZNAH (Gr.2 Park Hill Stakes, Champion Older Stayer in Britain).

Every generation here is drenched in black type, infused with Classic distance stamina and international reach. This colt doesn’t just descend from greats—he is built to emulate them.

The Verdict

This colt is the eighth foal of Miracle Play, and the blood is boiling with intent. He is a colt of masculine scope and depth, strong through the hind, with an intelligent head and a walk like a rolling drumbeat.

He was secured for R160 000—a robbery, frankly. The full brother is black type. The other is a winner. The page is international royalty. The price tag? Almost mythically low.

You’re not buying potential here. You’re buying probability. This colt will race. This colt will win. The question is how far and how fast.
