Holbrook Thoroughbreds Super Seven for Adelaide

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Saturday March 11

Julie Harris and her team are being kept busy during inspections for the Adelaide Magic Millions Yearling Sale with a draft of six including quality colts by proven Group I sires Nicconi and So You Think.

It’s not often we see grey progeny of Nature Strip’s sire Nicconi, but Lot 182 is an eye-catching son of the Widden Stud based sire who clocked up his 100th Australian winner of the season last week.

Lot 182

He is the first foal of Louella, a half-sister by dashing grey sire Dalakhani (IRE) to Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Le Chef from the family of Group III winner Magnapal.

Lot 222 is one of only four colts in the sale by outstanding sire So You Think and is from Group III placed Blackfriars mare Miss Vinnoire.
