The Cape Premier Yearling Sale has in the past drawn an international audience.

Grant Knowles, marketing and bloodstock director of Cape Thoroughbred Sales, said, “This has taken a great deal of thought and consideration. After consultation with the majority of vendors, I believe that it will be in everyone’s best interest to postpone our sale for roughly six weeks. There is a possibility that further Covid-19 restrictions will be imposed this week. This will have a direct bearing on our already restricted planning. We anticipate further restrictions on gatherings, both indoor and outdoor, affecting capacity at the De Grendel restaurant and the sales marquee. Additionally, we have concerns about accommodating grooms from 28 individual vendors at the sales venue.”
