I'm All The Talk - New Winner

The Awards formerly known as the Stud and Stable Staff Awards will enter a new chapter in 2026, with a refreshed name, the Australian Thoroughbred Industry Employee Awards (ATIEA), and an expanded industry partnership to further strengthen the recognition and celebration of the people who underpin Australia's world-class racing and breeding sector.

The second crop of yearlings by Home Affairs were always going to be in demand at Magic Millions off the back of his encouraging early winners and he made a splash on Tuesday during the first session with a filly from Dance Music fetching $700,000.

Western Australia's showcase for the finest juveniles in the state, the G2 Karrakatta Plate, is a great race in its own right and this $500k race makes for an excellent curtain raiser to the main event on Quokka Day at Ascot.

Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott won the 2024 Magic Millions 2YO Classic with an exceptional colt by Justify (USA) in Storm Boy and they signed for a cracking filly by the same sire at Magic Millions on Tuesday.

Here is the full list of 16 stallions which had winners throughout Australasia today with winners and result details.

With the opening day of selling at Magic Millions finished for the day, Frankel (GB) hit the heights, topping the sale with a $2m colt, while I Am Invincible took top honours on averages, 3 or more sold.

The sudden passing in 2022 of Darling View stallion I'm All The Talk shocked the WA breeding industry, and his absence was highlighted once again yesterday at Ascot, when his two year old daughter Talkanco piloted by Brad Parnham won the G3 Gimcrack Stakes in an exciting finish to announce herself as a serious Karrakatta Plate contender and become the third stakes winner for her sire.

She was WA's champion juvenile of last season with her Gimcrack/ Karrakatta double, and Talkanco (I'm All The Talk) picked up right where she left off with a barnstorming win in the Max Simmonds Stakes on opening day at Ascot.

A colt by champion international sire Frankel topped Day One of the 2026 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale on Tuesday when selling for $2 million

The second million dollar colt on the opening day of Magic Millions came late on Tuesday when the Extreme Choice colt from former brilliant I Am Invincible filly Dame Giselle sold for $1.2million.
