The first seven figure yearling to be sold at Magic Millions on Wednesday came through just after midday when the Milburn Creek consigned Snitzel colt from Embrace Me fetched $1.5million.

There are only two broodmares in Australia by South African sire Var - one of them is Via Africa (SAf), dam of G1 winners Autumn Glow and In The Congo, the other is Delta Queen (Saf), whose Snitzel yearling filly was first into the ring at Magic Millions on Wednesday and sold for $800,000.
