Sunspeed vendors are courting prospective buyers in the lead-up to the Perth Magic Millions amid a groundswell of support for War Chant.
War Chant (Danzig) has shuttled from Three Chimneys in Kentucky to Yarradale Stud since 2011 and the popularity of his first southern crop will go a long way to determining whether his shuttling days continue after the initial three-year agreement.
A round-up of opinion at Belmont Park suggests there will be no shortage of admirers for his yearlings. There are more War Chants than any other sire on a Top 20 leader-board as canvassed by Magic Millions officials on Monday.
