Magic Millions has confirmed a catalogue of 210 2-year-olds for November's 2YOs in Training Sale on the Gold Coast.
The Sale will be held on November 10, with lots by leading stallions Exceed And Excel, Not A Single Doubt, Dundeel (NZ), Deep Field, Fastnet Rock, Hinchinbrook, Lonhro, More Than Ready (USA), Pierro and Sebring as well as from the first crops of sires such as American Pharoah (USA), Astern, Extreme Choice, Flying Artie, Shalaa (Ire), Capitalist and Cable Bay (Ire).
"This is a 2-year-old Sale with proven stakes results for buyers," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said.
"The Gold Coast 2YOs in Training Sale produces more winners and has the best strike rate of the three breeze-up style auctions in Australasia. The reason for this is the professionalism of our vendors who are among the most experienced and successful 2-year-old sale vendors in the region."
Tyzone (Written Tycoon) became the latest poster boy for the Sale when the $60,000 purchase from the 2015 edition won Queensland's most famous race, the G1 Stradbroke H. in June.
He was sold by Kenmore Lodge, who offers a draft of 10 horses at this year's Sale.
Other recent stakes winners purchased out of the Gold Coast Sale include G2 Victory S. winner Victorem (I Am Invincible) and Listed Glasshouse H. winner Krone (Eurozone) while 11-time winner The Candy Man (Casino Prince) also came through the Sale.
Top Knight (Zoustar), who won the recent Singapore Derby, was purchased by Krit Chittaseni through the Sale as well.
