The yearling sale season finishes for Mill Park Stud with their home town sale next week and the Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale will showcase a 12 strong draft from the famed South Australian Nursery.

The Mill Park honour roll of success features a galaxy of Group I stars and million dollar earners such as speed queens Away Game, Instant Celebrity, Booker, Run Fox Run and Seradess as well as outstanding performers including Warning, Dalasan, Berkeley Square, Peltzer and Hong Kong based Senor Toba, but just at the minute it’s all about rising star Benedetta.

The three year-old Hellbent filly was a modest $75,000 yearling purchase from Mill Park and has won four of five starts for her trainer Jason Warren and owners Eales Racing Syndications banking over $600,000 in prizemoney.

She has made a rapid rise through the grades culminating in a three length trouncing of Group winning filly Paris Dior in the $750,000 Inglis Sprint last Saturday and there are many more wins in store.
