Geese That Lay Golden Eggs – What’s in the Future?

Tara Madgwick - Sunday Jan 14

The 2024 Magic Millions Yearling Sale was highlighted by 23 yearlings that sold for $1million or more which was up by three on last year when 20 were in the millionaires club.

Avantage set an online world record when sold for $4.1million on Gavelhouse to Tom Magnier, this year's sale-topper might not be her last!

There was only one mare on last year’s list that appeared again this year and that was In Times of War, who had a Zoustar colt last year make $1million. He was named Espionage and came out and won the Group III ATC Breeders Plate on debut so his half-sister by Snitzel was very much in demand fetching $1.4million.

Australian bred mares dominated the list with the only mares born outside of Australia to feature being Euroboss (USA), Cercle D’Or (IRE) and Kiwi bred Palace Talk.
