SEVEN MILLION REASONS TO SMILE !
Our son of Silvano cannot do more than win his first race.
R7 million yearling Celestial City, now in the care of trainer Sean Tarry, produced a phenomenal final burst to beat a very decent field, making it look rather easy with Calvin Habib in the saddle.
Congratulations ~Celestial City on an eyecatching winning debut for Summerhill Equestrian, Henning Pretorius and trainer Sean Tarry on a wet Turffontein.
Thank you Sporting Post for the awesome write up🙏💚

Full-brother to Hawwaam and half-brother to Rainbow Bridge and Golden Ducat, Celestial City finally got into a starting stall after what seemed like forever – and then produced the goods the racing world expected.
In May 2022, Henning Pretorius decided that Sean Tarry was the man to get the job done.
“You must know what I paid for him,” said Pretorius, “and I bought him purely on the belief in his dam, Halfway To Heaven. She did produce three champions by three different sires. So, I had the world of confidence in her. It has been a long wait, and there have been many insecurities along the way. But I gave the horse to Sean and I made it abundantly clear that there’s no pressure on him, but that he must try his best to get Celestial City going, no matter how long it takes. Sean has done an exceptional job and I am very thankful for his efforts. He is the one who deserves all the credit.” ` Henning Pretorius
