There are six mares still set to go under the hammer at the Magic Millions Broodmare Sale this week which were obviously due to race before sale but now the sale will come before they can run in their respective races.

The mares involved are:

Lot 637 – Floral Oasis for Blue Sky Premium Consignment. The 2YO filly had been entered for the Listed Bill Carter Stakes which has been rescheduled to the Stradbroke meeting on June 4.
