"The Sacred Falls out of Gold Rocks (Tommy Gold) won impressively in Sydney last week as well."

"Gold Rush herself is a good two-year-old winning So You Think mare and she's in foal to the best sire in New Zealand."

"It was a day like no other," Rosemont Stud Principal Anthony Mithen said.  "I've never put 93 horses through a sale ring through the course of a full day let alone a few hours. It was like speed dating on steroids."

"What an effort for the team at Rosemont. A real pat on the back to everyone here who put in a remarkable effort to make this sale happen and the support of Magic Millions, which has been incredible. To get a catalogue out and marketed in a way that inspired as much interest and inspections as it did is testament to all concerned."

"We are glad to have partnered with Magic Millions to provide the market with a strong catalogue with nice stock and contribute to the trade market."

"From the truck driver at Rosemont right up to the Managing Director at Magic Millions we've been one in, all in and in the end I've been proud of the efforts," Mithen added.

The Rosemont Exclusive Online Sale rounded out with a gross of over $2.5 million with an average price of $30,945.

"It was pleasing to see horses sold right around the country and indeed a number to international clients," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said. 

"The team from Rosemont Stud showcased their draft incredibly well and we received so much positive feedback from winning bidders and prospective buyers alike." 

"The new Magic Millions Online platform worked well again for our second auction and we look forward to our next internet based sale from June 2 to 4," Bowditch added.
