Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Thursday March 7

All roads lead to the Gold Coast next week for the Magic Millions March Yearling Sale (March 11 and 12) and Telemon Thoroughbreds will present a draft of six including three by the farm’s proven and promising sires Sidestep and Sun City.

He has sired 38 winners in Australasia this season headed by his flying filly Party for Two and metro winners Bootscooter and Pivotal Lad.

A precocious Group III winning juvenile by Zoustar, Sun City has been quickly into stride with his first crop of two year-olds siring three winners from five runners with Mishani Eclipse and Mishani Suspect both metro winners.
