Just a couple of days out from the 2025 Perth Magic Millions Yearling Sale, Mogumber Park’s Colin Brown would probably tell you he’s feeling ‘lucky’.
In a tremendous 40 minute run on Saturday, Mogumber Park sale graduates lifted both feature races at Pinjarra – firstly with Do I Feel Lucky in the Listed Magic Millions WA 2YO Classic, then via Smooth Chino in the Listed Magic Millions WA 3YO Trophy.
With two wins and two seconds from four outings, Do I Feel Lucky is trained by Sean & Jake Casey for owner Maureen Daly, who purchased the Dirty Work 2YO for $100,000 from Mogumber Park at the 2024 Perth Magic Millions. He’s bred to be precocious as the first foal from Mindarie (Safeguard) and his Rommel half-sister (Lot 84) will be offered in the first session of Perth Magic Millions Sale on Thursday.
As for Smooth Chino, the Maschino flyer made it 3 from 3 in the 3YO Trophy and he too was a bargain buy - $40,000 – from the Mogumber consignment in 2023.
Mogumber Park’s Colin Brown and Fiona Lacey were already on the Magic Millions 2YO Classic roll-call as vendors of 2009 winner Wolfe Dreams (Sequalo), who had been purchased by Commercial Bloodstock’s Noel Carter at the 2008 Magic Millions Sale.
Wolfe Dreams stayed in training for Steve Wolfe, eventually banking over $500,000 and more black-type in the LR Grandstand Cup (1600m) of 2011.
The Rommel – Mindarie filly is one of the highlights among Mogumber Park’s 19 lots outside Barns K and L at the Swan Valley sale grounds.
The family has 2YO black-type going right back to 1992 Karrakatta Plate (1200m) winner Dynamic Beau (Dynamo).
Fittingly, Mogumber Park backs up with a second-crop Dirty Work colt from Rapture Miss (Smart Missile) as Lot 113 come Thursday.
Brown reports the feedback out of their pre-sale inspections, both at the farm and on the sales complex, have been very positive for a well-balanced draft which includes four lots by its Champion 2YO Sire Safeguard plus colts and fillies by interstate stallions Farnan, Zousain, Captivant, Hellbent, Cosmic Force, Anders and Spirit Of Boom.
Spirit Of Boom’s colt from Poverty Point (Lot 108) is a younger half-brother to Into The Future (Playing God) who can add her name to the family’s black-type pedigree nurtured by Bob Peters.
She pulled up shinny after an unplaced debut at Bunbury last month but trainer Ryan Hill is quietly confident she can develop into a classic filly later this season.
