Bred by Shadwell and offered on their behalf by Yarraman Park in their Magic Millions run dispersal last year, the colt was bought by Rhys and Chloe Smith for $165,000.

They have a great record for success at pinhooking and not just in buying profitable yearlings, but also really good racehorses with current stakes-winning three year-old Giannis a case in point. The Flying Artie three year-old trialled well at Rosehill on Monday morning and looks set for a good autumn campaign.

 

Willow Park Stud had the next best result with the Menari colt from Fadetta (USA) that made $350,000 when bought by Bahen Bloodstock.
