Group placed Earthstorm tops MM Digital (3-9 July) Sale

Media Release - Thursday Jul 9

Offered as a racing and breeding prospect, the mare, who placed in the Group 2 Karrakatta Plate as a two-year-old, attracted plenty of interest.

Earthstorm topped the sale at $155,000.

"We've followed Earthstorm since her two-year-old season and have always believed in what she could do" said stable representative Kyle Sutherland.

"She'll stay in the West and join Stefan's (Vahala Racing Stable) where she'll race for at least another twelve months before eventually joining our broodmare ranks."

Purchased for $60,000 by trainer Russell Stewart at the 2023 Perth Yearling Sale, she has since accumulated $288,550 in prize money during her racing career.

"The marketing was super. "I know that everyone who needed to see her, saw her," said Russell Stewart.

"The Magic Millions Digital team did everything they could and she could not have been marketed any better."
