Magic Millions managing director David Chester said he was delighted with the quality line of entries received for the sale.

“Without doubt this year’s sale will have the best quality line up ever offered at a breeze up style sale of this kind in Australia,” Chester said.

“This is Australasia’s number one sale - last year we boasted a record average price and youngsters sold to $275,000.”

“The second highest priced lot of the sale - a colt by Giant’s Causeway and from Group One winner Love De Tor - recently was an impressive winner on debut in Brisbane.”

That horse Love De Cause, who is being trained by Maryann Thexton, is among entries for October’s Group One Caulfield Guineas in Melbourne.
