Sold at the 2017 Perth Magic Millions Sale by Yarradale Stud, as breeder and part owner we were thrilled with the result of a horse having just his first race start!

As a rule, every yearling we breed at Yarradale is offered for sale and we are always striving to offer yearlings by the best available stallions and from some of the finest producing female families in the stud book, so we hope you will be interested in our draft. Every lot we own is entered in the lucrative Westspeed incentive scheme which is a must for buyers looking to race horses in WA and as always, we will happily retain and race with any buyer, up to a 25% interest in any yearling sold that is listed in this booklet. We hope you enjoy inspecting our draft, we seriously believe the planets have aligned with our 2018 Perth Magic Millions yearlings and by that we mean the pedigrees and physical types of each yearling match up extremely well. Hand on heart, we can honestly say this is the best draft of yearlings we have presented at sale and we expect many top class winners will come out of the draft. Good luck with your purchases and I wish you well for a successful sale. Ron Sayers. Yarradale Stud.
