The last time Tom Magnier put his name to a million-dollar Wootton Bassett colt it was this year’s Golden Slipper runner-up Wodeton and he went to $1.4milllion to buy a colt from Yarraman Park on Day Two at Easter on Monday.
The colt is the fourth foal of US bred War Front mare Upfront, a half-sister to US Group II winner Asprey and daughter of Group II winning Galileo mare Up, herself a half-sister to UK and French Group I winner Dutch Art.
He is the second million-dollar plus sale for Yarraman Park at this year's Easter.
"He was always a lovely, scopy Wootton Bassett with a big international pedigree,” said Yarraman’s Harry Mitchell.
“We thought Easter was his spot, and we're delighted.”
“Team Coolmore purchased the colt to be trained by Chris Waller that gets every chance. Tick, tick, tick .”
Upfront foaled a filly by Starspangledbanner last season and went back to Wootton Bassett.
