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.

To be offered as Lot 853, this quality King’s Legacy colt is a half-brother to progressive Deep Field mare A Little Deep, who posted her third win from five starts when scoring at Moonee Valley on Saturday.
