Fly Nice is by Impending.

A $70,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Newhaven Park draft, Fly Nice is from metro winning More Than Ready (USA) mare Sparkle, a daughter of Group I MRC Thousand Guineas and SAJC Australasian Oaks winner Gallica.

Also from the same stable is Caravaggio (USA) colt Hercules Morse, a $170,000 Magic Millions purchase from the Sledmere Stud draft.

Kurt Goldman was the original trainer for Group I winner Hellbent and he will saddle one of his first crop fillies in Negation, who comes to Ballarat off a very nice barrier trial second placing in Sydney.


Negation was a $50,000 Magic Millions Adelaide purchase from the Grenville Stud draft.
