Media Release - Tuesday May 28

An exciting young stakes winner covered by Australia's champion sire in her first at stud will go under the hammer as a late supplementary entry for this week's Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale on the Gold Coast.

Bonny O'Reilly, a stakes winner of eight races and earner of almost $400,000, will go under the hammer following the Book One broodmare supplementary catalogue on Friday.

The three late supplementary broodmares from Yarraman Park Stud -Defy the Odds (dam of G1 winner Leicester in foal to Fastnet Rock), Erato (dam of G1 winner Lyre in foal to Russian Revolution) and Romany Flyer (dam of Invincible Star in foal to I Am Invincible) will also be available for inspection on Wednesday and go under the hammer on Friday.
