South Australian nursery Rathmore Lodge have a draft of 10 for Magic Millions Adelaide next week and will offer one of only two yearlings in the sale by red hot first season sire Home Affairs as well as the only filly in the sale by Ole Kirk.
Yearlings by I Am Invincible’s champion son Home Affairs have sold for up to $3.2million this year with 75 across all sales selling at an average just under $300,000 demonstrating the ferocious demand for his offspring.
Rathmore will offer Lot 219, a striking Home Affairs filly that is the second foal of Wu Darl, a winning half-sister by Dundeel to four time Group I winner and $4.5million earner Montefilia and Group III placed Nice for What.
“This filly is a 'must see' on pedigree and type,” said Rathmore Lodge’s Ross Hatton.
“She oozes elegance and class and just glides across the ground.”
Ole Kirk is the leading first season sire and also the leading 2YO sire in the country and there is just the one filly in the sale by this most exciting of young sires.
Lot 315 is a stylish brown Ole Kirk filly from Danish Bingo, the dam of ill-fated Brave Halo, who won three races in succession at two and was fourth in the Group I MRC Blue Diamond.
“She’s a half-sister to gun 2YO Brave Halo who ran a slashing fourth in the Group I Blue Diamond despite suffering an injury, which ultimately proved fatal and robbed him of the chance to become a future G1 winner,” Hatton said.
“This filly is very fast looking and catches the eye with her stunning good looks.”
