Topping the list is the Milburn Creek consigned Bernardini (USA) stakes-winner Sheiswhatsheis, whose Zoustar yearling colt made $725,000 at Magic Millions this year when bought by Curran Bloodstock. She also has a two year-old filly (Zouella) by Zoustar that was retained and is in work with Chris Waller.
Also interesting the Mill Park consigned Amalgamate, whose So You Think yearling colt made $650,000 at Magic Millions this year when bought by Legend Racing Pty Ltd/Avenue Bloodstock making him the most expensive yearling by his sire at that sale.
