Closely related to champion sire Redoute's Choice and Golden Slipper producing sire Manhattan Rain, Rubick had five yearlings average $160,000 providing an impressive return for his supporters off a$17,600 fee.
Rubick hit the heights on Monday with the highest priced horse sold in that
session, a gorgeous colt from proven stakes producer Charm's Honour that sold
for $420,000.Consigned by Supreme Thoroughbreds for Dorrington Park, the half-brother to this season's top class filly Enbihaar was secured by Sydney trainer Gerald Ryan, who trained his sire Rubick.
Earlier this year, prominent owner breeder Mr Yaseen of Teeley Assets instructed Gerald Ryan to, "Go and find the best looking Rubick you can and buy it for me.''
It's taken until now for Ryan to carry out Mr Yaseen's wishes.
"He was the spitting image of his old man [Rubick], albeit maybe a little taller than his father at the same age,'' Ryan said.
"This horse was the best Rubick of the year so far hands down. He's a great mover, great strength and has a nice page.
"We've had a bit to do with the family obviously over the years and Mr Yaseen has raced some of the best horses we have seen, so with a bit of luck this is his next one.''
Swettenham Stud's Toronado (IRE) was the leading first season sire by aggregate with 23 yearlings generating $2.5 million.
A Champion Miler by High Chaparral, Toronado did best with a terrific colt from stakes-winner She's Got Gears that made $340,000 for Gilgai Farm when bought by Hawkes Racing / Cameron Cooke Bloodstock.
Victoria's other heavy hitting first season sire, the Darley based Brazen Beau had 17 yearlings sell for $1,950,000 and his average of $114,706 was marginally above that of Toronado.
Best result for Brazen Beau was a filly from stakes-placed Viking Turf Belle that made $210,000 for Blue Gum Farm when bought by Sheamus Mills Bloodstock.
