$400,000 Ole Kirk Filly to Gai and Adrian

Tara Madgwick - Sunday May 24

The Magic Millions Weanling Sale is often seen as a pinhooker’s paradise, but it was an end user that purchased the Ole Kirk filly from Oxford Angel for $400,000.

Consigned by Rosari Farm, the full sister to ill-fated Group III ATC Breeder’s Plate winner King Kirk was purchased by MyRacehorse/Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott Racing/Belmont Bloodstock.

The exact same group of purchasers also bought King Kirk from Rosari Farm at the 2024 Magic Millions Yearling Sale, so they will be hoping this filly can fulfil the untapped potential of her brother, who died suddenly following a freak accident at the Randwick horse swimming pool after just one race start.

The filly will be sent to Vinery Stud to grow out and will ultimately join the stable of Gai Waterhouse and Adrian bott.

Oxford Angel is due to foal again to Ole Kirk this spring.
