Magic Millions Managing Director David Chester met with his owner in Hong Kong and took the entry for the high class performer in person. “Dao Dao would be a drawcard at any auction anywhere in the world – he has form around the best horses in the region’s he has raced – always racing at the top level.
“He’s the type of horse who would be invited to any of the international races in Dubai, Hong Kong, England and Singapore,” Chester said. “He’s very lightly raced and is a sound, tough horse and will be sold with a full set of x-rays.”
