Four colts that include the full brother to a champion and the full brother to the Magic Millions 2YO Classic favourite make this draft preview a sneak peek at some potential sale ring super stars at the Gold Coast next week.
A passion for racing and thoroughbred breeding has led successful owner breeder Ricky Surace to broaden the horizons of his burgeoning enterprise B2B Thoroughbreds with the 2020 Magic Millions Yearling Sale marking their first draft of yearlings consigned under their own banner.
Based in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, B2B Thoroughbreds is home to some of Australia's finest broodmares (read more about B2B Thoroughbreds here) and their Gold Coast draft features four outstanding colts that are not to be missed.
First into the ring will be the full brother to undefeated Magic Millions 2YO Classic contender Aim, who has been a brilliant winner at his first two starts in Sydney for the Peter and Paul Snowden stable.
Bred by B2B Thoroughbreds, Aim was consigned last year by Newhaven Park as agent, fetching $200,000 when purchased by China Horse Club / Newgate Farm and has emerged as favourite for the big race on January 11.
B2B will offer his full brother as Lot 21, a stunning bay colt by Star Witness from blue-blooded import Vintage Strike (USA), a grand-daughter of Golden Slipper winner Bint Marscay.
Next into the ring will be Lot 471, a handsome chestnut by Starcraft from Leone Chiara making him a full brother to Champion 2YO and 3YO Colt Star Witness, now a leading Group I producing sire.
The colt is the tenth foal from outstanding producer Leone Chiara, whose eight winners from nine foals to race also include Group III winner Nostradamus and Group I placed Lady Lupino.
A stylish brown colt by Sebring from Group III placed Maybe I is sure to turn heads as Lot 516.
The colt is a full brother to Group II MRC Sandown Guineas winner Ringerdingding and his dam is a grand-daughter of dual Group I winner Flitter.
The first crop of yearlings by Golden Slipper winner Capitalist are set to be a real highlight at the Gold Coast this year and Lot 731 is a great example of the strongly built precocious style of youngster buyers expect to see.
He’s the first foal of Group III winning sprinter Scarlet Billows, a Street Boss (USA) grand-daughter of Group III winner Smytzer’s Rivalry.
