Another group of exciting racetrack prospects to go under the hammer in the upcoming Magic Millions National Horses in Training Sale have had important pedigree updates in the past week.

Close relations to the recent stakes performers Bank Robber, Enzedex Eagle, Kaphero and Tuesday Joy are all in training and heading for the country’s premier breeze up style auction.

Bank Robber raced to the top of betting charts for the upcoming Group One Epsom Handicap when he scored a brilliant Group Three win in Sydney on Tuesday.

The Gai Waterhouse trained son of Dash for Cash is now the winner of his only two starts at black type level. He had previously won the listed Show County Handicap.

“He’s the horse they will have to beat in the Epsom,” Waterhouse said of Bank Robber. “He gets better each run and I can’t wait until he runs again.”

Bank Robber’s half brother, who is a member of the Eliza Park draft, is catalogued as lot number 228.

Dash for Cash himself has three newly turned two-year-olds set to go under the hammer - a colt, a gelding and a filly.

Also set for the Gold Coast auction is a half brother to last week’s Wyong Cup placegetter Enzedex Eagle.

In the main catalogue as lot number 36, the colt is a member of the first crop of Southern Halo’s Group Two winning son Star Cross. He is paid up for the lucrative Magic Millions race series.

Enzedex Eagle, who is trained by leading Sydney horseman Chris Waller, is one of Sydney’s most in form gallopers and looks to be a stakes winner in the making.

His dam Gay Finale is a half sister to Group winners Hermod and Orsay as well as the dams of Hire, Lease and Prankster and grandam of Fantasia.

The outstanding win of Tuesday Joy in Saturday’s Stocks Stakes at Moonee Valley provided the family of Lot 80 with yet another boost.

The youngster by Red Ransom is from the stakes performed Geiger Counter mare Joie - a half sister to Tuesday Joy.

The colt, paid up for the Magic Millions Race Series, is one of the outstanding lots catalogued by BC3 Australia - the draft assembled by renowned American pin-hooker John Brocklebank.

Joie, stakes performed in her own right, is a daughter of the Queensland Oaks winner Joie Denise and grandaughter of the champion Denise’s Joy.

Meanwhile, one of the well bred youngsters in the first supplementary catalogue for the sale is a close relation to Manikato Stakes placegetter and Moonee Valley Horse of the Year Kaphero.

Lot 491, as the bay colt is catalogued, is by Giant’s Causeway and from Memoir - a three quarter quarter sister to Kaphero.

Others in the supplementary (part one) are by Antonius Pius, Aucash, Dane Shadow, French Deputy, Giant’s Causeway, Hussonet, Iglesia, Moon Rocket, Ombra Della Sera, Statue of Liberty, Street Cry and Tsuimai.

A second supplementary catalogue will be assembled and anyone interested in offering their horse should contact James Dawson at Magic Millions as a matter of priority.
