Some of the richest and most influential age specific races for horses in Australia come in Sydney and this year Magic Millions graduates –four of them colts- have won the $5million Group I Golden Slipper (1200m 2YO’s), the $1million Group I ATC Golden Rose (1400m 3YOs ), the $10million Group I ATC Golden Eagle (1500m 4YOs) and the $2m Group III ATC Five Diamonds (1800m 5YOs).
The G1 Golden Slipper went the way of Home Affairs colt Guest House assuring his sire Home Affairs was the Champion First Season Sire for 2025/2026.
Guest House was a $270,000 MM purchase from Newgate for Mick Price Racing & Breeding Pty Ltd/Roll The Dice Racing/Rogers Bloodstock.
A majority share in him was acquired by Coolmore after the Golden Slipper and he will eventually stand alongside his sire Home Affairs at their Jerry’s Plains headquarters.
The G1 Golden Rose was won by Sword of State colt Warwoven, who subsequently went to Melbourne and won the Group I MRC Caulfield Guineas.
Warwoven was a $380,000 MM purchase from Kia Ora Stud for Ridgmont/Bjorn Baker Racing/S & J Gosling /Clarke Bloodstock Pty Ltd.
A stud deal has been brokered for him that will ultimately see him retire in the future to Vinery Stud.
The G1 Golden Eagle was won by Written Tycoon stallion Skyhook, who had contested both the Golden Slipper and Golden Rose earlier in his career and he hit the jackpot with maturity.
Skyhook was a $575,000 MM purchase from Arrowfield for Ryan & Alexiou Racing Pty Ltd and runs for a syndicate of stable clients.
No stud deal has been announced at this point in time for this well bred son of a proven sire of sires in Written Tycoon.
The G3 Five Diamonds was won by top class Per Incanto (USA) gelding Evaporate (NZ), who has had multiple stakes wins and G1 placings with his 29 start career to date netting $4.4million.
Evaporate was a $330,000 MM purchase from Sledmere Stud for Lindsay Park Racing.
