$4million for Away Game

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday May 24

For a while it looked as though Away Game might challenge Sunlight as the most expensive mare ever sold at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale on the Gold Coast, but in the end she came up just short selling for $4million.

Champion 2YO Filly and $3.7million earner Away Game sold for $4million.

Consigned by Newgate for her ownership group, the Champion 2YO Filly and $3.7million earner was bought by the Written Tycoon Syndicate, who earlier spent $3.1 million on Tofane.

By champion sire Snitzel, Away Game is a full sister to Listed stakes-winner Modern Wonder and was bought as a yearling from the Mill Park draft at Magic Millions in 2019 for $425,000 by Kerri Radcliffe Bloodstock.

Trained by Ciaron Maher and David Eustace, Away Game was an immediate success winning the Magic Millions 2YO Classic and placing in the Golden Slipper before returning at three and four to achieve further success with Group I placings in the MRC Oakleigh Plate and SAJC Robert Sangster Stakes.

She has never won a Group I, but gets her chance this Saturday in the Kingsford Smith Cup (1300m) at Eagle Farm run at WFA.

Footnote: Sunlight remains the benchmark at Magic Millions having sold for $4.2million 2020, find out more about Australia's most expensive mares.
