Timely Updates – Magic Millions

Tara Madgwick - Monday December 18

As we get closer to the yearling sales vendors have their eyes on the prize and while they can control everything to do with the physical preparation of the horse, it’s pedigree and the possibility of a timely stakes update is in the lap of the gods and for some of them the cards fell the right way last week.

Move to Strike was an impressive debut winner in New Zealand for Te Akau - read about him here.

Magic Millions produced some interesting updates with siblings to new stakes-winners Far Too Easy and Abounding entered along with a half-brother to newsmaking I Am Invincible 2YO colt Move to Strike.
