Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Sunday December 31

Julie Harris and her team are taking five yearlings to Magic Millions including three by exciting first season sires Peltzer, Prague and King’s Legacy, whose colt from Laugh a Little has a good pedigree update from Saturday.

Half-brother by King's Legacy to A Little Deep.
