Star Lots include Steel City for MM August Virtual Sale

Media Release - Wednesday August 14

An outstanding line-up, highlighted by a select group of world class breeding prospects including Group III winner Steel City, will headline the Magic Millions August Virtual Sale later this month.

With final entries closing on August 20, Magic Millions today is pleased to announce the first 33 lots for the exciting virtual sale on August 27.

Former explosive juvenile Steel City, who won a Magic Night Stakes (G3) and was runner-up in a Widden Stakes (G3), is one of the likely star offerings and will be offered by Ciaron Maher Racing as an elite breeding prospect.

The daughter of Merchant Navy showed high class ability at two and her almost three length win in the Magic Night Stakes at Rosehill saw her line up at her next run in the Golden Slipper - a run that was hampered by an outside barrier.

As well as her first class race record, Steel City possesses a first class pedigree. She is a half sister to multiple Group One winner September Run and is from a group winning Street Cry mare.
