Four Favourites from Fairhill Farm

Tara Madgwick - Monday January 8
Proven Group I vendors Fairhill Farm always bring some likely types to the Magic Millions and their quartet of BOBS eligible youngsters by proven Group I sires are sure to hit the mark with buyers.

G1 winner Good Project has a close relation in the Fairhill Farm MM draft Mike and Debbie O'Donnell's Fairhill Farm brand has become widely recognized as a signature for success, carried by Group I winners Good Project, Choice Bro and Glorious Days.

The farm have enjoyed recent success with smart winners Cudabeen, Shudabeen and Lady I Am, all promising fillies by I Am Invincible with many more wins in store.

Not a winner yet, but well on her way to success is the Chris Waller trained filly Fiesta, who was a close and unlucky third in the Listed ATC Gimcrack Stakes on debut last spring before finishing second to Magic Millions runner Legislation at her second start.

A $150,000 Inglis Classic purchase from the Fairhill Farm draft for Star Thoroughbreds, this daughter of I am Invincible returned at the Rosehill trials on Monday morning. She steamed home into second place under a hold indicating a successful return is not far away.

Below are the Fairhill Farm draft for Magic Millions 2018:
