The Autumn Sun Makes a Strong Start

Mark Smith - Tuesday January 11

Arrowfield Stud’s five-time Group 1 winner The Autumn Sun has made a strong start with his first crop on offer at the Magic Millions.

After sales of $240,000, $200,000 and $230,000, the son of Redoute’s Choice stepped it up a cog when Bahen Bloodstock/Matt Laurie Racing went to $525,000 for KBL Thoroughbreds filly out of Girl In Flight.

Bids came thick and fast for the powerfully made grey filly who is a half-sister to the talented Night Witches (I Am Invincible) out of the Group III winning Commands mare Girl In Flight.
