Champion two-year-old Away Game did it on the track and is now doing it nicely at stud with Yulong Stud announcing the arrival of her second foal, a colt, today.

Away Game

A $425,000 buy at the Magic Millions Yearling Sale when offered by South Australia's Mill Park Stud, she subsequently won the Magic Millions 2YO Classic and finished 2nd in the Golden Slipper at two.

She went through the Magic Millions ring again at the end of her career in the National Broodmare Sale where Yulong had to go to $4million to add her to their stellar band of broodmares who have sent her to Written Tycoon twice since.
