Top Prospects in TFI Racehorse Reduction on MM Online

Media Release - Wednesday August 31

The upcoming Magic Millions Online Sale (5-9 September) has been boosted with the announcement of the TFI Gelding Unreserved Reduction Sale.

 
The 21 lot draft will present prospective buyers with a wonderful opportunity to purchase lightly raced gallopers with world class pedigrees and bright racing futures. 

Featuring black type performers, international winners, proven metropolitan performers and unraced trial winners, the TFI draft is sure to appeal to buyers looking for a ready-made racehorse at any level of the market.

In a major boost for buyers all lots offered will be sold without reserve.

"The TFI business model is primarily making stallions," TFI's Racing and Breeding Manager Sally Williams noted. "Obviously once horses are gelded, they no longer fit that mould."

"For this reason only, TFI are presenting an outstanding group of good looking and well educated geldings with world class pedigrees through Magic Millions Online."

All of the geldings entered are just turned three or four-year-olds and include black type juveniles Flashing Steel and Nobel, exciting galloper Merchant Prince (beaten 2.4L in the G1 Blue Diamond Stakes) last start winners Lammer, Rekero and Shirvo and unraced trial winners Barnes and Discotheque.
 
"There's a selection of unraced and lightly raced geldings with an abundance of racing upside."

Over recent years tried racehorses such as Lombardo, Garibaldi, Persan, Young Werther, Star Patrol, Ellsberg, Holyfield, Osamu, Igniting, Phillipsburg and Tramonto have gone on to race with great distinction, showing there is always plenty of upside for astute trainers away from the TFI system.

"The majority of horses in the upcoming sale have not raced since being gelded, so the buyers are going to reap the full benefit of the improvement to come."

"We are selling all lots with vet reports and full disclosure and encourage as many prospective buyers as possible to come and inspect them at the Magic Millions Complex on the Gold Coast, they will not be disappointed," Williams added.

The geldings will be available for inspection at Magic Millions from 1pm on September 7 until the close of the sale. For inspections queries please contact Ben Culham on 0419 646 860.

Entries for the Magic Millions Online (5-9 September) auction will close tonight. For more information contact a member of Magic Millions’ Bloodstock team or visit www.magicmillions.online
