The Best Of Maree's Chats at Magic Millions

Breednet - Sunday January 12

Maree McEwan covers plenty territory for Breednet during a yearling sale and she’s excelled again speaking to the players at Magic Millions, so here’s a few of our favourite’s after Book One was done and dusted.

Damon Gabbedy

Mitsu Nakauchida came, saw and conquered.

Arrived at the Gold Coast, bought one horse for $3.2million, the filly by Home Affairs out of Champion sprinter Sunlight and is taking her back to Japan.

She became the fourth highest priced yearling ever in Australia and the highest priced ever for a first season sire.

James Daly from Bowness Stud, a bit on the emotional side after they bought a mare in foal to Too Darn Hot for $70,000 and sold that resulting foal for $650,000.

Damon Gabbedy – always a crowd favourite. His interviews with Maree always among our most viewed and nothing’s changed.

Ciaron Maher – tells the story behind his purchase of Widden Stud’s $2.8million colt by Snitzel.
