The purple and white stars colours of Star Thoroughbreds were in the winner’s circle in Tasmania on Sunday at Launceston where they won both the Magic Millions 2YO Classic and 3 &4YO Classic!
The Barry Campbell trained first starter Sanniya was able to overturn the hot favourite Zany Girl to win the $85,000 juvenile contest over 1200m. The daughter of Stratosphere was too quick and previously unbeaten Zany Girl couldn’t quite bridge the gap going down by three-quarters of a length.
A $67,500 Magic Millions Tasmania purchase for Star Thoroughbreds/ Randwick Bloodstock from Grenville Stud, Sanniya is the third winner from Lady Writer, an unraced half-sister by Written Tycoon to stakes-placed Emily’s Girl from stakes-winner Wavishing.
Campbell and Star Thoroughbreds struck again in the $75,000 MM feature for older horses over 1400m with quality four year-old Needs Further gelding Durazzo maintaining his impressive strike rate to win by four lengths.
A $97,500 Magic Millions Tasmania purchase from Armidale Stud for Star Thoroughbreds/Randwick Bloodstock, Durazzo has won seven of nine starts earning $227,050.
Durazzo is the best of two winners from metro winning Not a Single Doubt mare Arenzano, a sister to stakes-placed Regal Flame from the family of Group I winning sire Super Seth.
The 2025 Magic Millions Yearling Sale is on February 24 and there are 14 yearlings by Stratosphere and 10 by Needs Further..
