With final entries closing on August 20, Magic Millions today is pleased to announce the first 33 lots for the exciting virtual sale on August 27.

Former explosive juvenile Steel City, who won a Magic Night Stakes (G3) and was runner-up in a Widden Stakes (G3), is one of the likely star offerings and will be offered by Ciaron Maher Racing as an elite breeding prospect.

The daughter of Merchant Navy showed high class ability at two and her almost three length win in the Magic Night Stakes at Rosehill saw her line up at her next run in the Golden Slipper - a run that was hampered by an outside barrier.

As well as her first class race record, Steel City possesses a first class pedigree. She is a half sister to multiple Group One winner September Run and is from a group winning Street Cry mare.

International Group winner Have a Good Day, a part of the Yarraman Park Stud draft, will be offered in foal to world champion sire Frankel.

A winner of the Group Three Prix de Cabourg at Deauville in France, the Irish bred Have a Good Day will be the only Group winning mare in foal to champion sire Frankel offered in Australia in 2024.

This year's Group Three Proud Miss Stakes winning mare Boognish, an impeccably bred daughter of Regrowth, has been entered by South Australia's Clarken Racing.

Bright Shadow Stakes (LR) winner and Dane Ripper Stakes (G2) placed Aureus Angel is another quality offering. She's a $278,880 earner with five wins and five placings from just 15 starts.


Group One Victorian Oaks placed and quality Moonee Valley winner Queen Air (Toronado) is another to present breeders with a great future breeding option.


Also catalogued are the lightly raced and multiple juvenile city winners Croatian Belle and Miss Coota, The Gateway winner Tick Tock Queen and Flemington stakes performer Get Up Girl.

Broodmares already catalogued include lots in foal to Capitalist, Frankel, Hellbent, Jacquinot, Pinatubo, Too Darn Hot and Toronado. They include Group Two winner Only Words and the dams of stakes winners Sovereign Fund and Kristilli carrying full relations.

Impeccably bred prospects Fabulism (Written Tycoon-Miss Fabulass), Asap (Snitzel-Prompt) and Miss Enfield (I Am Invincible-Samantha Miss) and Stay Inside's half sister Stormy Revolution add further depth to a quality group of entries to date.

A lifetime breeding right to reigning champion sire I Am Invincible is being offered.

A lifetime breeding right to champion Yarraman Park Stud sire I Am Invincible and a share in prolific Lyndhurst Stud Farm resident Better Than Ready also feature.

Five racing prospects headlined by the Trilogy Racing offerings Mad Deel, Motorace, Nothingelsematters and the unbeaten Stormfront will also be offered.
