Time Has Come for Time to Reign – Book 1 Average $160,000 - Sold up to $230,000

Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Saturday January 13

Kingstar Farm had a great result on Friday at Magic Millions when the only three yearlings in Book 1 by their promising young sire Time to Reign all sold at an average $160,000, that’s good going for a stallion that stands at a fee of $9,900!

Time to Reign

A fast and precocious juvenile that won the Group II ATC  Silver Slipper and is a half-brother to Champion 2YO Filly and Golden Slipper winner She Will Reign, Time to Reign has been given a great opportunity at Kingstar at his modest fee and Friday’s results are more than encouraging.

“Time To Reign was an exceptionally fast 2yo beating the likes of Bivouac, Tassort, Yes, Yes Yes, Cosmic Force, Dubious etc and he has a knack for genuinely stamping his stock,” said Conor Phelan.

“We could have easily brought another three or four up here, they are such good types and the ones that are here should be on everyone’s list.”

Time to Reign is a grand-son of champion sire Snitzel and has a top class female pedigree with his dam Courgette selling for $2.1million at the Magic Millions National Broodmare  Sale in 2018.

“Time to Reign won a Silver Slipper and was the second colt home in the Golden Slipper that year, so was an elite juvenile,” Phelan said.

“He had the raw talent with the pedigree to match and his ill-fated sire Time For War is very much underrated (72.7%w/r and 5.7% SW/r).”

Below are the Time to Reign yearlings for Book 1 with two offered by Kingstar and a third by Glenbeigh Farm.
