Well Bought

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday May 29

One of the less exciting mares offered at the Magic Millions Broodmare Sale on Tuesday was imported Mastercraftsman mare Regine (IRE), whose two year-old half-brother by Kodiac, a colt called Majestic Sands, won impressively on debut overnight in the UK.

Trained by Richard Fahey, Majestic Sands made 90,000 guineas at the Craven Breeze Up Sale and opened his career with a comfortable three-quarter length win over five furlongs at Leicester as favourite with connections indicating he will now head to Royal Ascot next month.

A half-brother to not only Regine, Majestic Sands is also a half-brother to Group I winner Trip to Paris, who was second in the Caulfield Cup and fourth in the Melbourne Cup.

A metropolitan winner of four races, Regine was raced by a syndicate of Champion Thoroughbreds owners and bought at the sale on Tuesday for $40,000 by one of her part-owners in Dalanna Bloodstock.

If Majestic Sands does win at Royal Ascot, a lot of broodmare buyers may wish they had looked a lot closer at Regine.
