The filly was a wildly successful pinhook having been bought for $600,000 by Silverdale Farm/ Shrone Bloodstock for $600,000 at the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale from the Newhaven Park draft where she was the third highest priced horse of that sale.

$600,000 Magic Millions weanling purchase - The Autumn Sun filly from Via Africa (SthAf).

She was bought by Arrowfield  Pastoral / Hermitage Thoroughbreds which only seems fitting given Arrowfield Stud stand The Autumn Sun and Hermitage Thoroughbreds raced the champion son of Redoute’s Choice.

The Champion Sprinter in South Africa in 2014, Via Africa lost a Snitzel foal last year and is now back in foal to the sire of her Group I winner In the Congo.
