Is This The 2021 Magic Millions 2yo Classic Winner?

Mark Smith - Monday December 30

By a Magic Millions 2yo Classic winner out of a filly that was first past the post in a Magic Millions 2yo Classic who herself is out of a Magic Millions 2yo Classic winner, that sounds a winning recipe for a filly in the Kitchwin Hills draft heading to the Gold Coast.

The filly is from the first crop of the Magic Millions and Golden Slipper hero Capitalist out of the Redoute’s Choice mare No Looking Back who was first past the post in the 2012 Millions only to controversially lose it in the steward's room to her Tulloch Lodge stablemate Driefontein.

A half-sister to this year’s Magic Millions 2yo Classic runner-up Chauffeur (Snitzel), No Looking Back was making just her second career start following a first-up win at Warwick Farm.Capitalist filly out of No Looking Back the omen lot of the sale

A month later the daughter of the 2006 Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Mirror Mirror (Dehere), finished second to Samaready in the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield.

Coincidently, Samaready is the dam of the 2019 Magic Millions Classic winner Exhilarates (Snitzel).

Despite winning the Listed Carrington Stakes at Rosehill at three, No Looking Back’s subsequent career was a non-event.

Like her dam, No Looking Back has proved to be a hit in the sales ring and not surprisingly a few have found their way to the stables of Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott. They include a three-quarter sister to this years offering by Written Tycoon who was knocked down for $250,000 at the Gold Coast in January and has been named Fortune Seeker.
