R 50,000special live foal
Charles Dickens has all the credentials to be the next Champion Sire of the South African Breeding landscape. By Champion Sire Trippi, he is out of the outstanding Broodmare of the year Demanding Lady (Dynasty).
An unbeaten 2 year old, as a 3 year old Charles Dickens would go on to win the stallion making Cape Guineas Gr.1 and the highest rated race of the year, the Gold Challenge Gr.1 both over a mile.
As a 4 year old, he would win the L’Ormarins King’s Plate Gr.1 in the style reminiscent of the greats of the South African Turf. He retired as the highest rated horse in South Africa and was ranked 7th in the world (Longines World’s Best Racehorse Rankings).
