Breednet - Tuesday May 18

107 lots catalogued at this week’s Magic Millions National Weanling Sale at the Gold Coast are by first season sires and, as always, there’ll be plenty of eyes on them.

They include weanlings by the two highest priced stallions to stud in 2019 in Trapeze Artist (5 lots) and The Autumn Sun (6 lots) as well as Triple Crown winner Justify (5 lots), who’s fee was listed as private in his first year.

Also bound to be of plenty of interest is the stock of Blue Diamond winner Written By, Australian Guineas winner Grunt and dual Group One winning sprinter Brave Smash while Aquis Farm’s Lean Mean Machine is the most highly represented.
