Second to In Secret in the Group I VRC Coolmore Stud Stakes at Flemington in 2022, C’Est Magique has always shown the makings of an elite sprinter which is why Tom Magnier decided to purchase the four year-old daughter of Zoustar for $1.7million at the Inglis Chairman’s Sale last month.

After three Group II placings from 18 starts, the Snitzel mare Willinga Beast made the trip to the National Broodmare Sale, where she was a $675,000 purchase for Arrowfield Stud and two weeks later rewarded her new owners with a stakes breakthrough in Listed the Maker's Mark Hinkler Hcp (1200m) at Eagle Farm.
