Strawberry Hill Stud, one of the most revered stakes performing farms on the planet, will offer almost 60 lots at an on farm Unreserved Dispersal Sale on Tuesday, August 29.

World class stock from just turned yearlings to Group One winning and producing broodmares will be among the quality lots to go under the hammer of Magic Millions auctioneers.

G2 winner Mokulua will be offered in foal to Frankel in her first season at stud.

"Over the years John Singleton has turned Strawberry Hill Stud into one of the finest thoroughbred breeding farms globally," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said.

"The record of stock bred at the farm is incredible - a boutique operation which has continually churned out Group One winners."

"Singo has played an integral part in the growth and success of Magic Millions and we are honoured to be able to offer his stock to buyers at the end of August."

The lots on offer will include freshly turned yearlings by superstar stallions including Fastnet Rock, Frankel, I Am Invincible, Pierro, So You Think, Written Tycoon and Zoustar.

The broodmare offering reads like a who's who of Australian racing and breeding - More Joyous, Dear Demi, Karuta Queen, Miss Fabulass, Samantha Miss, Mirror Mirror and Mokalau - as well as close relations and relatives of other top liners. 

"The offering is truly world class. There's mares in foal to stallions such as Frankel, Zoustar, Home Affairs, Spirit of Boom and a number of stars are ready for early services this spring," Bowditch added.
 

"It is rare that the proven success of a world class breeder is presented to the open market and this unreserved dispersal will provide prospective buyers with incredible opportunities."

The catalogue of horses, which will also include soon to turn two-year-olds, stakes performed race fillies and group winning geldings, will be released by Magic Millions in coming weeks.
