First Million Dollar Yearling for Russian Revolution

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday April 4

Newgate Farm’s Russian Revolution has had a great run on the track this year emerging as the leading Australian second season sire by winners, earnings and stakes-winners with his achievements reflected in the sale ring when he produced his first million-dollar yearling at Inglis Easter on Tuesday.

Lot 283 sold for $1.1million, click to see his page.

Consigned by Bhima Thoroughbreds, the colt from Our Libretto (NZ) sold for $1.1million to Mick Wallace / Gandharvi Racing setting a new benchmark for Russian Revolution as his most expensive yearling.

Bred by Jonathan Munz’s GSA Bloodstock, who also bred last Saturday’s Group I winning 2YO Militarize, the colt is the second foal of Group II placed O’Reilly mare Our Libretto, who was bought at Karaka for $400,000 by Dean Hawthorne Bloodstock for Munz and raced successfully before retiring to stud.
