Tara Madgwick - Thursday September 29

A new generation of two year-olds are primed to step out this Saturday with fascinating stakes races in Sydney and Melbourne featuring the most expensive filly sold at Magic Millions this year and a smattering of runners by first season sires.

The Listed VRC Maribyrnong Trial Stakes (1000m) at Flemington is for colts and fillies with the most expensive runner being I Am Invincible filly Charm Stone, who was the highest priced filly sold at Magic Millions this year when bought by Sheamus Mills Bloodstock for $1.55million.

Bred and consigned by Emirates Park, Charm Stone is a full sister to juvenile stakes-winner Najmaty being from two time Group III winning Northern Meteor mare Najoom.

Charm Stone was the top selling filly at the Gold Coast this year.

Trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr, Charm Stone has had a jump out up the Flemington straight and has Jamie Kah to ride.

Only one first season sire has representation in the race and that’s I Am Invincible’s speedy Aquis based son Santos, who is the sire of Sandual, a $45,000 Magic Millions Tasmania purchase for his trainer Andrew Bobbin.

The Group III ATC Breeders Plate (1000m) is for the colts and geldings at Randwick and most expensive runner is Exceed and Excel colt Mach Ten, a $1.2million Magic Million purchase for James Harron Bloodstock.
