"We are absolutely delighted with the Magna Grecia filly from High Specs. She's got a massive hip and hindquarter with great quality and is very correct. I can go back to him this season with confidence now," said Mike O’Donnell.

The filly is the second foal of winning High Chaparral mare High Specs, a daughter of stakes-winner Creative Plan.

 

Magna Grecia (IRE) is a Premium stallion, click for more information.

A Group I winner at two and three, Magna Grecia is free of Danehill blood, but does represent a perfect mix between champion sires Invincible Spirit and Galileo. He stands at a fee of $19,250 this spring at Coolmore Australia.
