$500,000 Colt a New Record for Cool Aza Beel

Tara Madgwick - Monday Mar 30

At the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale on Monday, Newhaven Park’s exciting young sire Cool Aza Beel achieved his best ever sales result when the full brother to Group I winner Cool Archie sold for $500,000.

$500,000 Cool Aza Beel colt from Aware

Bred and consigned by Newhaven, the athletic bay is from outstanding producer Aware, who has had six foals to race and all are winners headed by Cool Archie, who enjoyed a remarkable winning run during last year’s Brisbane Winter Carnival.

Trained by Chris and Corey Munce, the two year-old won five races in a row from 1000m to 1600m culminating in his Group I BRC JJ Atkins victory.

Cool Archie was bought as a yearling for $100,000 by Mick Malone for his client Max Whitby and he struck again for the full brother, albeit paying five times as much!

Malone was at the sale with Chris Munce, who will no doubt look forward to the arrival of this colt at his stables.

Life has turned full circle for Cool Archie, who has now been retired and will stand his first season at Newhaven Park this spring alongside his sire.
