Around the traps... ![](https://mistable-files.s3.amazonaws.com/live/images/public/638/2024/05/880x400/e4fc3361090dcc6dd4d3277c5eb212c7.png) Above - Great to see Presser return to form going the other way around in Sydney this week On the Track After a couple of scratchings we ended up with 3 runners across Oz and NZ and it was great to see Presser return to form with a change of scenery in Sydney. This week we have up to 7 runners all over the country, and a couple of special runners. Firstly one of our own homebreds, Mr Shorty, bred by his owners starts his racing career. He is by Puissance De Lune out of Stripping Royalty, a mare we raced some years ago. It's quite an accomplishment in getting a horse to track let alone winning a race. Congrats to all the owner breeders in your patience getting him this far, let's hope he goes well next week. We also have our first horse bought out of the Tattersall's horses in training sale from the U.K, Overactive. He was bought at the October sales last year with the Freedmans and is now ready to kick off his Australian campaign at Sandown on Wednesday. Magic Millions Sales The Magic Millions weanling and broodmare sales have just finished this week and the prices of some of the broodmares were out of control. The top end of the market is unbelievable at the moment and if you have a nice filly/mare with a good pedigree and black type you are going to hit he jackpot. With the big players in the breeding industry like Coolmore, Yulong, Newgate and Arrowfield leading the way to improve their broodmare band. Champion mare Imperatriz was the star of the show. The multiple Group 1 winning daughter of I Am Invincible smashed the sales record in Australasia realising $6.6m and was sold to Yulong Investments. We can't wait to see which stallion she goes to first and seeing her progeny through the sales ring in years to come. RTD Open Day Reminder Another reminder that the RTD open day is coming up very shortly. This year we are visiting Sam Freedman and the team at their Pinecliff stables in Mornington on Monday 10th June. Should be an absolute cracker of a morning. See article below for all the details!
