Day 3 at the Magic Millions we didn’t have many on our list after we had the disappointment of the majority of our lots for the day were culled by our veterinarian, based upon poor x-rays, or poor endoscopic examinations or both!
However, it’s
this due diligence which is your quality assurance, and we will
never compromise our hard-earned reputation for racetrack success that has us as industry leaders with a
91.5% Winners to Runners Strike Rate with
248 Individual Winners from
271 Individual Runners.
So despite the setback on numbers, we were still committed to bid upon three (3) yearlings and whilst one of these sold well over our ceiling price,
we were successful when we bought two (2) high quality colts and as destiny would determine, they were
back-to-back lots.
So after the first 3 days of the 2021 Magic Millions Yearling Sales we have secured
six (6) awesome yearlings – 4 brilliant boys and 2 fabulous fillies.
Proudly, the first of these special buys we added to our team was
LOT 513 and when the gavel fell, on our bid of
$160,000 + GST we had secured from leading Queensland breeders
Eureka Stud a fantastic son of champion sire
EXCEED AND EXCEL. He could be another
REWARD FOR EFFORT (Exceed And Excel) who we won the
Gr1 Blue Diamond with and he has proven a
successful stallion at stud.
Lot 513 Exceed and Excel x Malasun Bay Colt
This colt is a sensational looking, precocious sort. He is a son of very quick stakes winning 2yo filly
MALASUN (by Red Ransom).
MALASUN won the MRC Blue Diamond Fillies Preview as a 2YO and our colt is her 4th foal with her first 3 foals to have raced, for 2 winners and a placegetter.
MALASUN is a half-sister to Gr2 and Listed winner and 2yo winner
STOKEHOUSE and to stakes placed
Hostwin Epanoui.
Bred to be early and bred to be quick, this colt is by the
Best Sire in the WORLD for 2yo progeny.
Add in the fact his Dam was a
2yo speed machine and this colt appears to
tick all the Magic Millions boxes.
We are so inspired by this colt we have chosen to make him our
“ALL GIRLS” Syndicate for 2021, as we aim to target the Magic Millions 2yo
$500,000 Lady Owners Bonus and the
$250,000 3YO Ladies Bonus the following year.
Another major advantage to the lucrative prizemoney of the Magic Millions plus the Ladies Bonuses is that
he is eligible for both the NSW BOBS Bonuses and the Queensland QTIS Bonuses as well. If he runs as fast as he looks, this could have his lady ownership team enjoying great returns on a modest investment.

We didn’t have to wait long for our next addition, as straight after our
EXCEED AND EXCEL colt departed the Salering under our ownership, the next horse in the ring was
LOT 514 offered by
COOLMORE STUD (As Agent) and we also claimed him to a Dynamic bid of
$100,000 + GST.
Lot 514 Caravaggi x Malibu Road Colt
By exciting first crop sire
CARAVAGGIO (USA) (by Scat Daddy) who stood at
Coolmore Stud for
$30,000 Service Fee, he was an
awesome Speed Machine in the Northern Hemisphere, where he was
Crowned Joint Champion 3YO Sprinter of Ireland in 2017.
CARAVAGGIO - Sire of our colt
He won 7 races, importantly 4 of these wins was as a 2yo and he won 6 races in succession in a race career of just 10 starts.
Timeform’s highest-rated juvenile colt of 2016 who went unbeaten in his first six starts!
Unbeaten Group 1 winning 2YO - with sensational victories in the
Gr.1 Phoenix Stakes at the Curragh & the
Gr.2 Coventry Stakes at
Royal Ascot defeating Mehmas
Top-class sprinter at 3 - bolted up in the
Gr.1 Commonwealth Cup at
Royal Ascot defeating Harry Angel & Blue Point
He was a
dual Gr1 Winner as well, winning the Phoenix Stakes Gr1 at The Curragh and the Commonwealth Stakes Gr1 at Royal Ascot. He also won two Gr2 events a Gr3 race and a Listed Race. Whilst he was 3rd and 4th in a Gr1 as well. He is a son of champion sire
SCAT DADDY.
Of the First Season Sires we decided to target in 2021,
CARAVAGGIO was the sire we settled upon because he was such a brilliant sprinter, we believe he will uplift female families that are also built on speed.
We decided that if we were going to target any new sire, we were
going to buy the best and most precocious looking son of that sire we could find at the sale, which our veterinarian passed clean on x-ray and scope.
Having done our homework and inspecting the Caravaggio’s
13 in the main sessions at the sales complex, we settled on
LOT 514 as our main target and happily we achieved what we set out to do.
The SCAT DADDY line internationally works well with the Malibu Moon (A.P.Indy) line, and this colt is from the USA bred mare
MALIBU ROAD (by MALIBU MOON).
A saturated black-type pedigree follows this colt and
MALIBU ROAD is already a successful broodmare having produced 5 winners from 6 runners including the talented stakes placed
INDEPENDENT ROAD a 2yo winner at Flemington.
He looks the part but whatever he does as a 2yo he will develop into a magnificent 3yo sprinting type.
To have access to a top pedigree by a fast stallion from a proven speed line suggests he could be the
perfect fit for Australian racing conditions.
To buy him for just
3.3 times service fee, when he is such a great type and possessing such strong pedigree both commercially and genetically, he represented terrific value.
We had
valued him a
5-time service fee colt, so he was
exceptionally good buying. Especially as he is also eligible for the lucrative
BOBS Bonuses as well.
