News - MARINE ONE (AUS)

Mogumber Park stallion Marine One is value plus for broodmare owners this season after his first yearlings averaged over $77,000 on Day 1 of the 2026 Perth Magic Millions.

It’s been a nail biting finish in the race to be the leading sire of Australian winners and it went right down to the wire with Newgate based Capitalist landing two new winners on Friday to take the title.

Ask any athlete or indeed any human being of a competitive bent about the value of winning and of course that’s important, but the thing that matters most is personal best and the quest to be better than you were.

The West Australian breeding ranks were boosted in 2023 by the arrival of three superbly bred stallions – Aysar (Deep Field), Lightsaber (Zoustar) and Marine One (Capitalist) – and the trio have strong representation at the Perth Magic Millions Yearling Sale which kicks off on Thursday.

This time last year, the first foals by Mogumber Park stallion Marine One were widely regarded as some of the best types on the ground in Western Australia.

Colin Brown has been at the thoroughbred game quite a while now. He and wife, Fiona Lacey – an experienced stud vet and former President of Thoroughbred Breeders WA – run Mogumber Park at Bullsbrook, some 50kms north of Perth.

Mogumber Park has tapped into the precocious Capitalist sireline with news his Group 2 winning sprinter Marine One will stand alongside Champion WA 2yo sire Safeguard at Bullsbrook.
