The ill-fated War Pass has produced two winners to date from his<br />
first Australian crop and has produced four stakes winners from his first<br />
Northern hemisphere-bred crop, who are now three-year-old.<br />
lot 42 is colt by Written Tyccon out of the stakes placed mare<br />
Temple Fire (Bletchingly). Being offered by Eliza Park as Agent, this<br />
colt is a half brother to the Australia Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) winner Stella<br />
Cadente (Centaine), whilst his dam is a half sister to Bint Marscay<br />
(Marscay), the dam of Bollinger (Dehere) and Mannington (Danehill).<br />
Lot 42 Written Tycoon - Temple Fire colt MAGIC MILLIONS<br />
lot 247, who is also being offered by Mill Park as Agent, is a Testa<br />
Rossa (Perugino) colt out of the winning Kenny’s Best Pal (Bletchingly)<br />
mare Pushing Daisies making him a half brother to the Epsom<br />
Handicap (Gr 1, 1600m) winner Captain Sonador (Shamardal), who was<br />
himself sold by Mill Park.<br />
The strength of the sale has increased in recent years, with the<br />
Session One average climbing from $26,792 in 2010 to $34,843 last<br />
year, representing a 30% increase.<br />
“We were very busy today after a steady start to inspections on<br />
Friday and Saturday,” said David Somers, Eliza Park General Manger of<br />
Operations.<br />
“There looks to be a growing buying bench and early indications<br />
are solid. We have some nice horses across the board and they should<br />
sell accordingly – we have managed to have an excellent clearance<br />
rate this season and this should continue given the interest.”<br />
“The general talk <strong>com</strong>ing into this years Adelaide Magic Millions<br />
sale is as good as it has been in many years. The buyers are all in town<br />
and credit has to go to Adrian Hancock and the team from Magic<br />
Millions. The sale <strong>com</strong>plex is looking fantastic and the vibe around the<br />
<strong>com</strong>plex has been very positive,” said Sam Hayes of Cornerstone Stud.<br />
“We had one of our busiest days at a sale today. We have a<br />
consistent line up of colts and our clients are prepared to meet the<br />
market. There is a lot of interest in our Hussonet colt [lot 117] and we<br />
have an impressive colt by Al Maher [lot 178]. The Good Journey’s have<br />
been popular but my personal pick of our draft is a Reaan colt out of<br />
Giftenary [lot 156]. He is the most athletic mover we have had at a sales<br />
in quite some time.<br />
“We are looking forward to tomorrow and will have water, coffee<br />
[and Panadol] at the ready for buyers that have enjoyed another fun<br />
night in the City of Churches. What happens in Adelaide….!!!!”<br />

Adrian Hancock, who was appointed the South Australian<br />
Consultant for Magic Millions last year, said yesterday, “This sale has<br />
enormous potential to be a major player in the Australian yearling<br />
sales circuit. It’s a place where buyers and vendors can enjoy a great<br />
two or three days of a fun atmosphere amongst the business of buying<br />
and selling.<br />
“To me it’s the grass roots of the industry. The sale average is<br />
$35,000, which is realistically where most people are at. It will be a<br />
true litmus test of where the market is, we have vendors ranging from<br />
major <strong>com</strong>mercial operations to small breeders and equally a diverse<br />
buying bench that includes trainers, who only have a couple, as well as<br />
our leading trainers.<br />
The response across the board to the yearlings and to the <strong>com</strong>plex<br />
have been very positive. Magic Millions have put a lot into this sale,<br />
giving it a huge boost through sales ground improvements and<br />
promotion of the sale and its good to see prospective buyers here<br />
today [Sunday], which is very encouraging. I hope that Magic Millions<br />
are rewarded for their investment in the sale.<br />
In saying this, the market is still very selective. Its the same old<br />
story - good horses will sell well, but the bottom will be tough, though<br />
I hope that the breeders who have been supportive of the sale get<br />
rewarded for the effort that they have put in, because there are some<br />
really nice horses at every price range on the grounds.”<br />
