first crop yearlings. 'Type' was at a premium at Karaka, playing into the hands
of Mongolian Khan's impressive progeny who were exceptionally well received
both internationally and domestically, this fact being confirmed with his top

2013 while his former trainers Murray Baker and Andrew Forsman were also
notable purchasers of the leading freshman sire's stock.

perennial leading buyer, Te Akau Racing's David Ellis, proved to be Mongolian
Khan's biggest supporter purchasing a total of four yearlings by the champion
racehorse while many ofAustralasian racings biggest names also secured
