A filly by Rocket Man’s sire Viscount topped Day 1 of the Magic Millions Perth Winter Sale on Friday evening.

The half sister to Magic Millions Perth 2YO Classic winner Rose of Thunder was purchased by local Nicky Brown for $21,000.  She was offered by Oakland Park Stud (as agent) and was the clear top lot during the weanling session.

Over $100,000 changed hands for 50 lots sold at an 81% clearance rate.

Rose of Thunder won 6 races and she is the dam of the city winning and stakes performed Oratorio galloper Wizards Point.  Second dam Zanta Rose (Conquistarose) is a half sister to New Zealand stakes winner Stone Rose.

Viscount gelding Rocket Man is being prepared for upcoming Group 1 features in Japan, Hong Kong, Dubai and Singapore.

The Perth Winter Sale will conclude on Sunday when a quality line up of race horses, fillies and mares will go under the hammer.  The session will commence at 11am with the latest reduction sale from Peters Investments and continue through the day with some good prospects.
