Sires With Winners - Thursday February 1

The first day of Magic Millions had plenty of highlights but that’s done and dusted – here’s what we’re looking forward to on Day Two, and if you thought I Am Invincible was a little quiet on Day One – sit tight.

Well-performed mare Pearl Of Alsace will have conditions to suit on Saturday in her quest to add a major title to her CV before the curtain comes down on her career.

Segenhoe sold a lovely filly by I Am Invincible from Eloping at the 2021 Magic Millions Yearling Sale for $900,000 to Godolphin and she went on to be dual Group I winning $5million earner In Secret, so when her sister walked into the sale ring at the Gold Coast on Wednesday fiscal fireworks were always expected.

Coolmore have become fast fans of Snitzel thanks to his Group I winning sons Shinzo (Golden Slipper) and Switzerland (Coolmore Stud Stakes) with Tom Magnier swooping on another outstanding colt by the champion sire at Magic Millions on Wednesday.

Further top-flight success on the home front and an overseas double has boosted spirits at Jamieson Park ahead of New Zealand Bloodstock’s National Yearling Sale.

The first million dollar yearling sold on day 2 at Magic Millions did not take long to arrive with the Coolmore consigned Home Affairs filly from Champagne Cuddles selling for $1,050,000 in the first half hour of the sale.

We maintain a lot of data at Breednet and there’s plenty on offer for Magic Millions Gold Coast whether to help with decision making or just perusing, so here’s the ready reckoner.

Magic Millions gets underway on Tuesday with Lots 1 – 240 to be offered and here's the Day One highlight horses with the key sire break up.

Juddmonte Farm’s champion sire Frankel was the leading sire by average at Magic Millions last year and he made a splash on Wednesday at the sale when his colt from Australian bred mare Cleanup sold for $900,000.

A big crowd was on hand at Surfer’s Paradise on Tuesday morning for the annual beach races and accompanying barrier draw for the $3million Magic Millions 2YO Classic on Saturday with the market given a big shake up when the top fancy Icarian Dream drew gate 21.
