Shares in Group One Stars Highlight MM Digital Sale

Media Release - Friday December 5

Shares in three Group winning stars with major Summer and Autumn Carnival targets headline the catalogue for the latest Magic Millions Digital Sale which is now open for bidding.

A 5% share in Overpass is on offer

The Magic Millions Digital Sale (5-10 Dec) has brought together 45 lots including shares in top liners Overpass, Within the Law and Blitzburg.

An opportunity to buy into Overpass, via a 5 per cent share, will give a new client the chance to race in a $1.5 million feature three days after the sale concludes on Wednesday.

Overpass, a narrow runner-up in last Saturday's Group One Winterbottom Stakes, will return to Ascot in Perth in eight days to contest The Gold Rush for trainer Bjorn Baker and his Darby Racing ownership group.

"To have the opportunity to buy a share in a horse that ran second in a Group One less than a week ago and is planning to run in a $1,500,000 race within a week is a very exciting proposition," Magic Millions Head of Digital Bryce Bevan said.

Obviously delighted to be offering a share in the sprint star Overpass, Bevan said it was also an honour to be selling two more shares in Group One sprinting filly Within the Law.

Two shares, accounting for 11.5 per cent, in Within the Law sold at the last Magic Millions Digital Sale and now a further two shares (5 per cent and 2.5 per cent) will be offered this time around in the Group Two winner and twice Group One placed star.

"It is another great opportunity to buy into a genuine Group One filly with big Autumn Carnival targets ahead."

A 2 per cent share in Group winning juvenile Blitzburg, who is gearing up for a strong Summer Carnival with trainer Michael Freedman, will also be offered.

"Blitzburg won the Group Three Canonbury Stakes as a two-year-old and he is back with some big targets in the pipeline," Bevan added. "Buyers have the option to get involved on the ground floor of what could be a big preparation."

Lightly raced, but highly talented Snitzel colt Decorum has a win and a second at his two starts for trainer Michael Freedman and a 2.5 per cent share in the three-year-old is sure to attract strong interest. He's a last start winner at Newcastle. 

Why Me, who won in Western Australia yesterday, as well as Intruder who has won or placed in three of his past five starts for Chris and Corey Munce headline the Racehorse section of the catalogue.

Included in the broodmare section is the impeccably related Klum (Snitzel), a winning sister to Tuesday's brilliant Canterbury two-year-old trial winner Campione D'Italia. Klum has a filly at foot by Blame's group winner Officiating and is back in foal to the same sire.

The stakes performer Ghobella is a great prospect. The multiple city winner is in foal to leading Western Australian sire Maschino. 

The catalogue for the Magic Millions Digital Sale (5-10 Dec) is now online and bidding has opened. Lots will begin closing on Wednesday (10 Dec) from 12:00pm (QLD time).
