Magic Millions Lot 234

This colt is from the highly anticipated first crop of yearlings by 5-time G1 winner and Champion 3YO Colt in Australia, The Autumn Sun.

In just nine starts over 11 months, The Autumn Sun rocketed to stardom with an escalating series of championship victories that rank him with Australia’s best colts of the past quarter-century, including his own legendary sire, Redoute’s Choice.

This colt’s dam Madam Tracy won over 1100m and has produced two-time sprint winner, Tracy May who is a three-quarter sister to this colt.

He hails from an impeccable family with just two dams on the page. His dam is a three-quarter sister to the dam of G1 VRC Australian Guineas winner Alligator Blood and a half-sister to Australian Horse of the Year Typhoon Tracy and Stakes winner Red Element.

His dam sire Encosta de Lago has proven to be a potent broodmare sire and has claimed the title of leading Australian Broodmare Sire on multiple occasions.

His daughters have produced 16 individual G1 winners and 133 Stakes winners, including Alabama Express, Invader, Aligator Blood, Happy Clapper, Impending, Japonisme etc.

Purchased out of the successful nursery at Element Hill, this colt is an outstanding individual and very reminiscent of his sire with plenty of rein, depth and class.

This colt is fully subscribed.

Duncan's Comments

“Buying a yearling from the first crop by Champion 3YO, The Autumn Sun was a target for us and this colt was one of the best examples at the sale. He's from a sterling family and comes from a leading nursery so ticked all the boxes for us.”
