Mill Park Quality a Magic Highlight

Tara Madgwick - Friday January 4
Leading South Australian vendors Mill Park bring only their best to Magic Millions each year and this year's draft features a selection of eight colts and fillies by champion sires such as Snitzel, I Am Invincible and Written Tycoon.

Mickey Blue Eyes is another promising SW sold by Mill Park The Watson family run Mill Park is a name synonymous with quality and the list of superior runners raised on their vast paddocks is a virtual who's who of Australian racing.

Group I superstars Fawkner, Southern Speed, Happy Trails, Rebel Raider, Serious Speed, Captain Sonador, Go Indy Go, the list goes on… with even a Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner in Augusta Proud gracing their honour roll.

The latest stakes-winner to emerge from Mill Park is quality Medaglia D'Oro (USA) colt Mickey Blue Eyes, who made $350,000 at Magic Millions in 2017 and won the Listed ATC Dulcify Quality in the spring before finishing fifth in the Group I ATC Spring Champion Stakes.

He's already won nearly $200,000 in prizemoney and being from a daughter of Zabeel, the best is undoubtedly still to come.

The 2019 MM draft includes a quality Snitzel filly that is a full sister to smart juvenile stakes-winner Modern Wonder and a stunning Brazen Beau colt that is the second foal of Exceed and Excel's Group III winning daughter Just Discreet.

Offered on behalf of his breeder David Peacock, the Brazen Beau colt is from one of South Australia's most iconic families with the 'Discreet' monika carried by outstanding performers such as Group I winner Maybe Discreet and Group II winner Serenely Discreet.

Looking like a very racy filly is the Not a Single Doubt from stakes-winner Hussy By Choice, whose dam is a half-sister to this season's Group I ATC Spring Champion stakes winner Maid of Heaven. She is bred on a highly successful nick with Not a Single Doubt x Hussonet (USA) producing 10 winners from 12 runners with those winners including Group I winner Extreme Choice and Group winners Gunnison and Selenia.
