IF Supreme Dance pulls off a win in today’s first race at The Vaal it will be a meaningful win for trainer Brett Warren. 

Warren’s biggest ever sales purchase was when he bought the damsire of Futura, Badger’s Drift, for R500,000. 

Unfortunately Badger’s Drift, who went on to win three Grade 1 classics in succession, the SA Classic, SA Derby and Daily News 2000, was moved from his yard before he raced. 

However, Warren deliberately looked for a suitable progeny of his to buy at the sales and thus purchased Scribblin’ The Cat.

The latter won only won one race, although she only had four starts, and she went on to become dam of Equus Horse Of The Year Futura. 

Warren then went looking for progeny of Futura at the Sales.

Futura’s son Supreme Dance can thus finally bring Warren just reward for his good judgement.
