A half brother to Hong Kong champion Golden Sixty by Home Affairs and a half sister by The Autumn Sun to Melbourne Cup hero Knight's Choice are joined by (at least half) relations to fellow Group One winners Chain of Lightning, Royal Merchant, Shadow Hero, The Mission and Vibrant Sun in the line up.

Autumn Glow was purchased as a weanling at Magic Millions.

"This is a sale with a proud history of producing future stars - whether in the sale ring, on the racetrack or in the breeding barn," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said. 

"From Golden Slipper winners like Pierro and Stay Inside to champion sire Zoustar and Group One winners Pinstriped, Tropical Squall, Veight and Ellsberg - the National Weanling Sale is the industry benchmark for success." 

"Incredibly the sale this season has already produced six individual two-year-old stakes winners - Bona Sforza, Icarian Dream, King Kirk, Scenic Point, Shining Smile and the Group One performer Tycoon Star."

"Recent stakes winners Autumn Glow, Stay Focused and Wonder Boy were also purchased from the Gold Coast as weanlings." 

The 365 lot catalogue features progeny by in excess of 100 individual sires - from Australia's champions to the hottest young stallions in the Southern Hemisphere.

Leading sires including Better Than Ready, Capitalist, Castelvecchio, Dundeel, Exceed and Excel, Extreme Choice, Farnan, Frankel, Harry Angel, I Am Invincible, Justify, Kingman, Pierro, Pride of Dubai, Snitzel, So You Think, Spirit of Boom, The Autumn Sun, Too Darn Hot, Toronado, Wootton Bassett and Zoustar are all represented.

Young stallions including Farnan, Home Affairs, Ole Kirk and Stay Inside all have exciting prospects set to go under the hammer.

Australian Horse of the Year Anamoe has nine entries in the sale.

A highlight in the catalogue at the National Weanling Sale is the selection of youngsters by 15 first season sires.

"In the coming days we will release a world class catalogue for the National Broodmare Sale and the National Yearling Sale will follow with incredible opportunities for buyers," Bowditch added.
