The two Justify entrants at the Magic Millions Gold Horses In Training Sale on Tuesday have produced excellent results, particularly for their pinhooking vendors.
Lot 76, a colt by Justify from Encosta De Lago mare Port Augusta, a half-sister to Champion French 2YO, and sire, Holy Roman Emperor.
Offered by Brisbane’s KO Racing, he sold to Yulong for $700,000, having originally been purchased by KO Bloodstock, Munce Racing and Arthur Hoyeau for $300,000 at the Gold Coast Yearling Sale in January.
Shortly after Lot 88, a filly out of Sacred Witness made $425,000 to the bid of Queensland’s Bartholomew & Co from the draft of Nolen Racing.
The filly is a half-sister to three-time stakes winner, and 13 time winner Religify while the dam is a sister in blood to Hong Kong Champion Silent Witness.
She had originally been purchased by Tal Nolen’s Moorillah Pastoral for just $60,000 from Newhaven Park at the Magic Million National Yearling Sale in June.
