Mulberry Racing Purchase $700,000 Home Affairs Filly

Tara Madgwick - Thursday January 9

Mulberry Racing is a new name on the buyers list at Magic Millions and they secured their fourth yearling of the sale on Thursday when paying $700,000 for a Home Affairs filly from Jazz Song.

Consigned by Coolmore on behalf of Morning Rise Stud, the quality bay is a half-sister to Group II placed Sword Point and is from Group III winning Fastnet Rock mare Jazz Song, a daughter of Group I winner Absolut Glam.

$700,000 Home Affairs filly from Jazz Song

Mulberry Racing is the new venture of Sydney businessman Mike Gregg, who has formed a good association with Hawkesbury trainer Brad Widdup. The pair have enjoyed recent stakes success with smart Savabeel stakes-winner Jedibeel, who has won over $500,000, and they have purchased some quality youngsters at Magic Millions with this filly the most expensive to date.

“She’s a lovely filly. She’s going to be a big strong filly and very athletic, so we’re happy with her,” said Brad Widdup.

“We hoped not to pay that much but at Magic Millions you either go hard or miss out.

“I don’t think she’ll be running here next year but we’re pretty patient. It is a great series. We’ve got three and four-year-old races so there is no big panic to run next year.”

Jazz Song produced another filly last year by Home Affairs and is back in foal to him again.

$600,000 Wootton Bassett (GB) filly from Dream Cirque.

Mulberry Racing also purchased a $600,000 Wootton Bassett (GB) filly on Wednesday for $600,000 from Widden Stud.

She is a half-sister to Group II VRC Sires Produce Stakes winner Lightsaber from Dream Cirque, who produced a filly last year by Home Affairs and comes from the family of champion sire Fastnet Rock.

Brad Widdup is looking forward to training the filly.

“It’s always more than what you want to go to but she’s a lovely, strong filly and Wootton Basset is going terrific,” he said.

“She got a good pedigree and she look like she’ll be forward enough. I’d like to think she’ll probably go as a two-year-old and race on after that.”
