Ole Kirk's other exciting youngsters include the Listed Valley Pearl winner Prestige Forever and Michael Freedman's unbeaten Aerodrome who is currently equal favourite for the Group One JJ Atkins Stakes.

"This represents a great opportunity in a young stallion that we have always believed in and who is now demonstrating how important to our industry he could be," Vinery Stud's Bloodstock Manager Adam White said. 

"This horse is fully booked for the coming season and I'm sure there are many breeders out there that will identify the chance to utilise a young stallion on the way up," White added.

The offering at the start of Tuesday's selling will be one share in the Ole Kirk Stallion Syndicate of 100. The share entitles you to one service right each stud season plus a share of overs income. A copy of the Syndicate Deed will be available for inspection at the Magic Millions office.
