Godolphin Racehorses and Spectacular Shares Feature in Latest MM Digital Sale

Media Release - Friday Aug 28

An intriguing catalogue has been assembled for the Magic Millions Digital (28 Aug-2 Sep) Sale headlined by shares in exciting Spring contenders as well as racehorses aplenty including a seven-strong draft from Godolphin.

The sale commences strong with an unreserved 10% share in Private Eye offered by Proven Thoroughbreds (As Agent) and is catalogued as Lot 1.

The evergreen campaigner who currently sits tenth on the all-time Australian prizemoney earners list began his Spring with an impressive runner-up effort in the Group Two P.B. Lawrence Stakes on August 15. His next start will be in the Group Two Tramway Stakes or the Group Two Theo Marks Stakes.

“Private Eye has changed many lives and this is a rare opportunity to buy into a proper Group One horse and enjoy the ride,” Tom Walter of Proven Thoroughbreds said.

“The share is available because the organisation who owns the share has been placed into administration so it’s a very genuine sale.”

“We anticipate he will continue his fine form this Spring and race into the Autumn and we are looking forward to welcoming the new owners who will join us on that journey.”

In the racehorses category, Godolphin features heavily with a draft of seven. Highlights include Steel Move (Lot 6), a three-time winner who has earned over $368,000 in prizemoney; last start winner Zebra Finch (Lot 8); and multiple city placed Matima (Lot 3). As usual with Godolphin, plenty of information is readily available on all entries including material loaded in the Magic Millions repository.

Aside from the share in Private Eye, plenty of other exciting opportunities exist amongst the Racehorse Shares. One of these is an opportunity to purchase an unreserved 2% share in So You Pence, the current favourite for the $2,000,000 The Kosciuszko. Offered by Kurrinda Bloodstock, So You Pence has won five races from 10 career starts, with the successful purchaser able to be part of the exciting build up to what has become one of the highlight races on the Sydney Spring Carnival calendar.

Arrowfield dominates the Broodmare category with nine entries, including stakes winners and dams of stakes winners, many with international flavour. Included in the draft is well-related Get Closer (Lot 59), dam of One Step Closer who placed fourth in last season’s Group One Victoria Derby and Group One Rosehill Guineas, multiple stakes winner Kneeling (Lot 61) who is the dam of two stakes winners; and Politeness (Lot 48), a Group One winner herself and dam of stakes placed Politely Dun.

Bidding is now open for the Magic Millions Digital (28 Aug-2 Sep) Sale.

Please note, bidding for the unreserved 10% share in Private Eye (Lot 1) will close from 12pm AEST on Monday 31 August.

Bidding for the remainder of the catalogue (Lot 2 onwards) will remain open and close as usual from 12pm AEST on Wednesday 2 September.
