It was Magic Millions Day at Murray Bridge on Saturday and the feature, the $200,000 Magic Millions SA 2YO Classic (1100m) was won in brilliant style by the Ben, Will and JD Hayes trained Capitalist gelding Rich on Bubbles.
A last start winner in Victoria, Rich on Bubbles settled back in the field before storming home under Kayla Crowther for an impressive four length success.
Last year's SA 2YO Classic winner Ole Dancer graduated to a Group One winner later that year, so connections will be hopeful he can also progress from here.
Lindsay Park Racing bought Rich on Bubbles for $200,000 from the Kingstar Farm draft at the Gold Coast Magic Millions.
He is a half-brother to stakes-placed Stoli Boli and is the second winner from stakes-winning Spirit of Boom mare Champagne Boom, who has a yearling colt by In The Congo and produced a colt by Ozzmosis last spring before going to Extreme Choice.
Later in the card at Murray Bridge the Prime Thoroughbreds team celebrated their ninth Magic Millions feature success when Pride of Dubai mare Shadhavar cruised home to win the $122,500 SA 3&4YO Classic (1200m).
The Tom Dabernig trained mare has been Group placed previously and seems destined for further stakes success after the win.
She was purchased by Prime Thoroughbreds boss Joe O'Neill for $85,000 at the 2023 Adelaide Yearling Sale from the draft of The Chase and is the fifth Magic Millions big race winner Prime have purchased and syndicated from the Morphettville based auction.
Shadhavar has four wins and four placings from 13 starts with prizemoney topping $244,000.
Shadhavar is the best of two winners from well related Sebring mare Cross Legend, a winning half-sister to Group II winner Thronum and SW Cythera from the family of champion sires Street Cry and Shamardal.
The 2026 Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale will be held on March 19 and 20.
