Flying Start for Jacquinot

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday January 14

Buyers warmed quickly to the first yearlings by Widden Stud’s dual Group I winner Jacquinot offered on Tuesday during the first session of Magic Millions with five selling at an average $312,000.

Best result for Jacquinot on day one was the Widden Stud consigned colt from Bonheur that made $425,000 when secured by Ciaron Maher Bloodstock/David Redvers Bloodstock.

He was one of five colts bought in the opening session for this partnership that involves Sheikh Fahad Al Thani’s Qatar Racing.

An attractive bay, very similar to his sire, the colt was bred by Widden in partnership with Robert Anderson and is the first foal of winning I Am Invincible mare Bonheur, a half-sister to Group placed Miss Aria from Group I VRC Myer Classic winner Bonaria.
