Blue Diamond Sale Mail

Tara Madgwick - Wednesday February 19

The $1.5million Group I MRC Blue Diamond Stakes is run at Caulfield on Saturday and is the first Group I event of the season for juveniles so well worth taking a look at who bought and sold this year’s runners.

Race favourite Hanseatic is a homebred for Godolphin and is one of four homebreds in the race, but the remainder of the field were all purchased at public auction.

Rulership was a $900,000 Magic Millions purchase

Highest priced runner is I Am Invincible colt Rulership, bought for $900,000 from the Yarraman draft at Magic Millions by China Horse Club/Newgate Bstock/Stonestreet.

Rathlin was a $725,000 Magic Millions purchase

Not far behind, Fastnet Rock colt Rathlin, bought from the same sale for $725,000 from the Kitchwin Hills draft by Aquis Farm.

Personal was a $640,000 Inglis Easter purchase

The most expensive fillies are Fastnet Rock’s daughter Personal, bought for $640,000 from the Cressfield draft at Inglis Easter and Snitzel’s Away Game, who won the Magic Millions 2YO Classic and was snapped up for $425,000 from the Mill Park draft at Magic Millions by Kerri Radcliffe Bloodstock.

Away Game was a $425,000 Magic Millions purchase

Ian Smith’s Edinburgh Park has two runners in the race having bred and sold Tanker (Pride of Dubai) and Glenfiddich (Fastnet Rock) at Magic Millions for $170,000 and $200,000.
