Tara Madgwick - Tuesday August 29

The Magic Millions Strawberry Hill Stud Dispersal provided a sneak peek into the future with the first ever yearling by Kia Ora Stud’s Golden Slipper winner Farnan offered for sale this afternoon and she was snapped up by Ciaron Maher Bloodstock.

Farnan filly from Fly Lightly sold for $100,000.

An athletic bay like her sire, the filly sold for $100,000 and is the third foal of Fly Lightly, a winning More Than Ready (USA) sibling to Group I winner Fenway (dam of G3 winner Willliamsburg) and Group III winner War.

This lovely filly is from the Deedra branch of the famed Joie Denise family and her dam Fly Lightly is also in the sale as Lot 40.
