Unraced Brother to G2 Winner Hope in Your Heart Tops MM Digital

Media Release - Wednesday Nov 11

Unraced three-year-old Dundeel gelding Putcee (Lot 4) topped the Magic Millions Digital (6-11 Nov) Sale which concluded this afternoon, selling for $30,000 to Liam Ruddy after 38 bids.

Offered by Torryburn Stud (As Agent), Putcee trialled earlier this year at Kembla Grange and is a full-brother to Group 1 placed Hope In Your Heart.

Putcee sold for $30,000.

Torryburn Stud also offered Redushka (Lot 11) for the same connections; she sold to Strathavon Thoroughbreds for $12,000 after 33 bids.

"We couldn't be happier with the results achieved today," Mel Copelin, Stud Manager of Torryburn Stud said.

"They are hard horses to value as they are not exposed but both (Putcee and Redushka) exceeded our expectations."

Other results amongst the racing stock included Emphatique (Lot 18), a maiden who has placed on seven occasions from 13 starts, selling for $16,000 and Stormbringer (Lot 5), a five-year-old winner who has won on three occasions between Canberra and Goulburn, selling for $13,000.

In the shares category, two 2.5% shares in Let's Galahvant (Lots 22 and 23), who is on a pathway to the Group 1 features including the Railway Stakes at Ascot in the coming weeks, proved popular selling for $4,000 each to two different buyers.

"We had a number of good stories to come out of the sale, particularly with horses in categories that are typically hard to move on this time of year," said Bryce Bevan, Head of Digital.

"With only two sales left this year, we are committed to finishing the year strong and getting the best results possible for clients who give us an opportunity to offer their stock."
