The fireworks started early on Day 1 with two $1 million yearlings in the first 19 lots.
The trend might be reversed on Wednesday with some heavy hitters late in the day, not the least being the first foal of the outstanding Arcadia Queen, a colt by I Am Invincible.
Segenhoe had one of the four lots to make a $1 million or more at the opening session from the three lots offered, and it ramps up considerably on Day 2 with ten to sell, including a few choice lots.
