Figures
soared across the board as a stunning filly by Sebring topped Day One
of the 2016 Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale at Morphettville on
Monday night.
The
top priced filly was purchased by leading Victorian based bloodstock
agent Sheamus Mills and will head to Cranbourne to join the Mick Kent
stable.
"I
thought she was the best yearling in the sale - filly of colt," Mills
said. "The stallion is flying at the moment and she has a good pedigree
behind her."
"She's from a Redoute's Choice mare and he'll be a champion broodmare sire for the ages I'd say."
"She ticked all the boxes, as they say," Mills added. "She was Mick's star pick of the sale and he's delighted to get her."
The
Sebring filly is from the Redoute's Choice mare Aussie Crawl, a two
time winning daughter of former Adelaide based group winning juvenile
Freestyle. She was offered at the auction by Goldin Farms.
The
top priced colt of the night session was $195,000 for the Written
Tycoon-Zoccoletta youngster from the Baramul Stud who sold to McEvoy
Mitchell Racing.
"He's
come off Baramul so he's had a good start to his life," Tony McEvoy
said. "He's got great bone on him, tremendous depth of muscle and a lot
of power through his core."
"I love when he was walking to me, the power through him. He's an up and going two-year-old."
"He'll
be there in the spring and then he'll be there for the big dance in the
two-year-old races when you need those two-year-olds."
Day
One of the sale rounded out with a gross of $3,865,500, average price
of $51,540 and median price of $40,000 - those three figures rose
massively on last year's opening session - 65%, 47% and 60%
respectively.
The
clearance rate also rose on 2015 and finished tonight on 82 per cent
during a day in which seven yearlings sold for $100,000 or more.
"It's
been the most amazing start to a sale in a very long time," Magic
Millions Managing Director Vin Cox said. "The numbers are well up -
around 50 per cent up already, which is just spectacular."
"Hopefully we can hold the numbers for tomorrow and we're really looking forward to getting into it tomorrow," Cox added.
Day Two of the Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale will be held from 10am (SA time) on Tuesday.
