Tara Madgwick - Tuesday January 12

Widden Stud and David Redvers Bloodstock made a big investment at the 2019 Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale paying $1.2million for young stakes-winning O’Reilly mare Bonny O’Reilly, who was in foal to Snitzel, and the foal she was carrying produced a big pay day at the Gold Coast on Tuesday when selling for $1.9million at the Magic Millions Yearling Sale.

Star of the show!

Consigned by Widden, the Snitzel colt was much admired and attracted spirited bidding before he was finally secured by Tom Magnier for $1.9million. (he was highlighted in a recent Magic Millions nicks information story on Breednet, click to read)


 

The colt is the first foal for Bonny O’Reilly, who has been given every chance to succeed at stud and has a Zoustar colt foal to follow and was covered by I Am Invincible last year.

Bonny O'Reilly sold for $1.2million in 2019.

Bonny O’Reilly is a half-sister to stakes-winner Pretty to Sea and comes from a great New Zealand female family featuring Group I winners Vision and Power, Glamour Puss and Steps in Time.

Widden Stud had a hot couple of minutes selling the I Am Invincible filly from Group I winner Bonaria just two lots previously for $975,000 to Busuttin Racing.

$975,000 I Am Invincible filly from Bonaria.
