Buy from the Best – Golden Slipper Winner Number 5?

Tara Madgwick - Sunday January 7
Newhaven Park have sold some outstanding horses at the Magic Millions Yearling Sale over the years and many believe the best two year-old to come out of the sale last year was a colt they sold for $450,000, but he's not in the $2million Magic Millions 2YO Classic.

PerformerThat colt is the Chris Waller trained Performer, who overcame difficulty to score a dominant win in the Listed ATC Breeders Plate back in the spring.

The son of Exceed and Excel clocked a brilliant 56.82 seconds in winning his debut setting up a benchmark for his peers that has yet to be matched.

Performer (image Steve Hart) will seek to follow in the Golden Slipper winning footsteps of recent ATC Breeder's Plate winners such as Capitalist, Vancouver and Pierro and if he does happen to win will become the fifth Golden Slipper winner to emerge from the Boorowa paddocks of Newhaven Park joining Prowl, Burst, Vivarchi and John's Hope.

GoodfellaNewhaven Park bred and sold Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Unencumbered in 2013 and his purchaser and trainer Bjorn Baker will be chasing success in the $2million 3YO Guineas this Saturday with another Newhaven Park purchase in Goodfella (image Steve Hart) .

A stakes-winner at Randwick in the spring, Goodfella has already won nearly $400,000 and is in good form with a last start third to boom colt Pierata in the Group III BRC Vo Rogue Plate.

Newhaven Park will present 28 yearlings, click here for the full draft with highlights below and pedigree notes from Newhaven:

The current 2yo out of the mare is a Smart Missile colt named Nuke, a $75,000 Inglis Classic purchase for Blueblood Thoroughbreds, who started his first campaign in November with a second place before beaten just over two lengths at Rosehill at his second start.

Zeditave mares have produced 79 stakes performers highlighted by Group I winners Reset, Set Square and Sacred Kingdom. The Redoute's Choice x Zeditave cross that this filly is bred on has produced 27 winners led by the multiple Group II winner In Her Time, a winner of $1.4m.

By legendary sire Redoute's Choice, the sire of over $140 million in progeny earnings highlighted by 152 stakes winners, of which 32 are Group 1 winners including Group 1 producing sires Snitzel and Stratum.
