It was no coincidence that when buying quality yearlings, secure the progeny of the best sires that stand at the leading thoroughbred nurseries.
At the 2023 Magic Millions Team Dynamic did exactly that, when among our Baker’s Dozen 13 yearling purchases, we took home a Half-Dozen (6) yearlings by Arrowfield Stud sires. We purchased:
3 yearlings by SNITZEL (two colts and a filly), plus a daughter of DUNDEEL, a son of THE AUTUMN SUN and a son of WRITTEN TYCOON.
A quick review of the sale by Arrowfield Stud showed:
Snitzel still a Sensation in the Salering and on the Racetrack
Recently we saw Green Aeon become super sire Snitzel’s 131st Stakes Winner and take his tally of black type victories for this season to 13 – right on the button of the exceptional strike rate of one stakes win every 13 days, which Snitzel has maintained since August 2016.
Snitzel’s 13 Stakes Winners and 11 Stakes Placegetters this season are headed by star 3YOs Best Of Bordeaux & Zenzella.
Snitzel again was a leading sire at the Magic Millions with 34 Yearlings selling for an average of $492,000 with a highest price of $1.25m.
They are so hard to buy - but this year by striking here and having a close association with the vendors of these 3 yearlings, we had the inside mail, therefore the inside run at buying the three we were able to secure.
Importantly as a "vote of confidence and endorsement" the vendors have stayed in each yearling.

Big tick for Arrowfield’s Written Tycoon project to make this season’s yearlings BOBS eligible
"Resounding success" is the early verdict on Arrowfield’s decision in 2020 to bring Written Tycoon up from Victoria to stand in the Hunter Valley therefore making the progeny BOBS Bonus eligible and opening them up to the lucrative Sydney market.
The Champion Sire Written Tycoon posted his “best-ever” Magic Millions aggregate ($15.9 million) and average ($371,977) for a stellar cohort of 43 yearlings.
Arrowfield backed its own judgment and sold 11 Written Tycoon yearlings for an average of $400,000, including his top-priced lot, the half-brother to Champion 3YO Filly Shoals at $950,000.
Dynamic Syndications have had plenty of success with Written Tycoon progeny and the fact they were now BOBS Bonus eligible was extra appealing.
We identified several that captured our desire on pedigree and conformation, but after having X-rays read and Scopes evaluated, we aimed at just one colt that could be in our price range that we really wanted to own. And through hard work and due diligence we achieved our goal when we purchased LOT 432 a terrific colt from STRESA (by Real Saga). And …. He’s a potential STALLION PROSPECT as Well!
He is the Full Brother to TYRESA (f by Written Tycoon) 2 wins and a 2yo Stakes Winner.
Importantly – Our COLT is from the mare STRESA – and she is a half-sister to champion 2yo CAPITALIST (by Written Tycoon).
That makes OUR COLT a 3/4-brother to Golden Slipper & Magic Millions Winner and Champion Young Sire – CAPITALIST.
Our COLT’s 3rd Dam is brilliant 2yo COMPULSION (by Danehill) and his 4th Dam is the sensational BOLD PROMISE (by LUSKIN STAR) & she was the Dam of Golden Slipper Winner MERLENE (by Danehill).
Purchased with the Magic Millions 2yo Race and 3yo Race & Magic Millions Cup Races in mind, he was a great buying at $220,000 inc GST.
Bred on an excellent B+ 139%, Q5 cross and we know the cross works because he is a full brother to TYRESA.
Offered by Michael Sandblom’s KINGSTAR FARM – They have purchased 10% back in the COLT as a STALLION PROSPECT.

Buyers return for Dundeel’s yearlings
Dundeel’s son Truly Inspired scored a dramatic last-stride victory in the $125,000 ATA S. 2200m LR at Ascot recently, taking the quality young stallion’s career tally to 19 Stakes Winners and this win was one of 10 stakes performers already posted this year by the top-class son of High Chaparral.

Dundeel has 13 yearlings sell for an average of $216,154.
Dynamic Syndications was one of several return buyers, picking up a lovely filly from Ludicrous Mode, a daughter of Snitzel and half-sister to high quality Stakes Winner GLENFIDDICH and a first season sire in 2022.
Our filly was placed into the care of Trainers Ciaron Maher & David Eustace, whilst other Dynamic trainers Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott, and Mick Price & Michael Kent Jr will also grabbed yearlings by Dundeel. Japan’s Northern Farm is a significant new buyer on Dundeel’s resume, paying $500,000 for Tyreel Stud’s handsome colt out the stakes placed All American mare Tender.
Our FILLY, Lot 78 offered by leading boutique breeding operation EDINBURGH PARK, is the first foal from LUDICROUS MODE (by SNITZEL), who was placed at 3 from 2 starts. She is a 3/4-sister to MISS WONDERLAND – 3 wins-1 at 2, 1100m to 1200m, Gr3 placed.
LUDICROUS MODE is a half-sister to GLENFIDDICH (Fastnet Rock) 2 wins-1 at 2, Gr2 Winner and Gr1 Placed at 2 in the ATC Champagne S., and 3rd Gr1 Memsie S.

Enthusiasm for The Autumn Sun Yearlings
A strong group of buyers were prepared to pay more than 4 times service fee which generated excellent results for yearlings from The Autumn Sun’s second crop.
The Autumn Sun’s 14 lots on offer in Book 1 sold up to the $600,000 which was paid by Ciaron Maher for Arrowfield’s Time Check filly.
The Autumn Sun saw 14 yearlings sell for an average of $266,786.
While other lots went to Dynamic Syndications, who purchased a colt from Total Discretion to head into the stables of Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott. Other stables to secure his yearlings include Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou, Richard & Will Freedman, Phillip Stokes, Trent Busuttin & Natalie Young.
LOT 496 COLT ex TOTAL DISCRETION (by NORTHERN METEOR). Winner at 1100m and Melbourne placed 2yo and 3yo. She is a Half-sister to ROYAL DISCRETION – 6 wins-1 at 2- Dual Gr3 Winner & Dual Listed Winner & Gr1 placed.

Bred on a superior A+++, A+++, Q7 cross he was in the Top 20 Yearlings in the catalogue on Genetic Ratings.
The 2nd Dam is stakes-placed DISCRETION (by CANNY LAD). This colt is the fourth foal and the best stallion the mare has been to. Her first three foals have been by Scissor Kick, and she has had 2 to race for a winner and placegetter, so she is doing a great job and has been bred up significantly here going to the champion racehorse and young sire THE AUTUMN SUN.
Heading into the care of GAI WATERHOUSE & ADRIAN BOTT, this Colt was a saleyard gift at $110,000 inc GST.
