Who Has the Numbers on Day 1?

Tara Madgwick - Monday January 9

The first session of Magic Millions features just 185 lots in a catalogue of 1273, so it’s interesting to see which sires have the numbers on day one to make their mark.

Zousain is the most represented first season sire at this sale and has seven youngsters to be offered on day one.

The first season sire market on day one will hold plenty of interest with local stars Exceedance and Zousain leading the way by numbers to be offered and what the market makes of them will be a good guide for the remainder of the sale.
