Magic 2YOs Ready for the Track

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Wednesday November 4

The Magic Millions 2YO’s in Training Sale is a proven source of high class winners and stakes horses and when success is all about identifying talent and transforming that into racetrack success there are few better conditioners than licenced trainer Melanie O'Gorman, whose past Australian breeze up drafts include $600,000 plus earner Trumbull.

Trumbull wins the $500,000 G3 ATC Sydney Stakes - bought from an O'Gorman Racing Stables draft for   $125,000 and has won over $600,000!

A brilliant Group III winning sprinter that has won seven of 20 starts for the Kim Waugh stable, Trumbull is the shining example of an athletic yearling selected by O’Gorman and then readied for re-sale that has gone on to achieve spectacular success.
