"Gold Rush herself is a good two-year-old winning So You Think mare and she's in foal to the best sire in New Zealand."

"It was a day like no other," Rosemont Stud Principal Anthony Mithen said. "I've never put 93 horses through a sale ring through the course of a full day let alone a few hours. It was like speed dating on steroids."

To get a catalogue out and marketed in a way that inspired as much interest and inspections as it did is testament to all concerned."

"From the truck driver at Rosemont right up to the Managing Director at Magic Millions we've been one in, all in and in the end I've been proud of the efforts," Mithen added.
