A $150,000 Inglis Classic purchase, Insurrection won over $500,000 in prizemoney!

Mogo Magic is an interesting one, the son of Duporth had five starts this season and won all of them for Goulburn trainer Scott Collings including his last two wins Highway races in Sydney.

Retained to race by his breeders, Mogo Magic has won over $270,000 in prizemoney and while his sire Duporth is no longer standing at stud, he does come from a great female family being the first winner for Zoumagic, a metro winning half-sister by Zizou to the dams of Group  winners Chaing of Lightning and Glint of Silver. It’s also the family of Champion Miler Racing to Win and Everest hero Classique Legend, so Mogo Magic may have more to offer!

Winning Rupert started life at Newgate, but calls Grandview Stud in Queensland home these days and he accounted for three of the top six BOBS earners in Iowna Merc, Paseggiata and Semana.
