Hussonet topped Day 1 of the Magic Millions National Horses in Training Sale on the Gold Coast with a colt that realised $170,000.

Offered by Baramul Stud, the colt had starred at Monday’s final breeze up session when clocking 10.45 seconds.  Magic Millions acted as agent for a Macau based client in snapping up the top seller.  His dam Flying Single (Flying Spur) is a half sister to leading sire Not a Single Doubt.

A Flying Pegasus colt from Fiorentina was next best on the leader-board when selling for $125,000 to Magic Millions, acting as agent for a Singapore client.  His dam Fiorentina (Dubai Destination) is a half sister to Dubai World Cup winner Monterosso.

Two other colts sold for $120,000 – a More Than Ready colt from Robyn Wise and a Holy Roman Emperor from Kolora Lodge.  Their purchasers were John O’Shea and Magus Equine, respectively.

“The market was patchy,” MM Managing Director Vin Cox said.  “Two from every three horses were sold, which is pretty standard for two-year-old sales the world over.  We feel the market was in the buyers’ corner today with some outstanding offers still to come.”

Magic Millions reported the average price was up marginally ($809) to $42,258 and the clearance rate was down two points to 67%.  Day 2 of the HIT Sale will be held on Thursday with the first lot from 11am (Qld time).
