Since the release of the 2026 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale catalogue on November 10, 2025, several yearlings set to go under the hammer on the Gold Coast have experienced significant pedigree updates. Ahead of their entry into the ring, we take a look at who’s page has fresh appeal for buyers and vendors alike.

Lot 342 - State Of Rest (Ire) x Harlem River (Fastnet Rock), filly - on account of Kingstar Farm

Hailing from the family of Yes Yes Yes and In Her Time (Time Thief), this filly received a nice boost to her page on November 8, when her 4-year-old half-sister Harlem Queen (Brutal {NZ}) scooped her biggest win to date in the Listed Ladies Day Cup at Hawkesbury. Previously pulling off runner-up efforts in the G1 Flight Stakes and the G2 Emancipation Stakes - and two fourths in the G1 Spring Champion Stakes and the G1 VRC Oaks - it’s exciting to convert her name to all capitals in future catalogues.

Dam Harlem River (Fastnet Rock) was a Listed winner herself and placed three times at stakes level before going to the breeding barn. Her fillies are clearly her most talented offspring; her other stakes performer Lady Harlem (Sebring) was a winner at Canterbury as a 2-year-old and ran second in the R. Listed Inglis Banner 2YO Stakes on debut.

Lot 504 - Snitzel x Madame Andree (War Emblem {USA}), filly - on account of Arrowfield Stud

Madame Andree (War Emblem {USA}) continues to be the gift that keeps on giving for the Hunter Valley nursery, and on December 27, her 3-year-old daughter Caffe Florian (Snitzel) topped off a three race streak by adding the Listed Gosford Guineas to her record - making her the third stakes winner, and fifth stakes performer, out of the mare. Caffe Florian was unraced at the time that the catalogue was put together, so this is quite the update for an already attractive page.

Also the dam of Widden Stud stallion Anders, Madame Andree now can boast six winners from seven to the track, and her only winless runner Satin Love (Snitzel) notched a second placing in the G3 Ottawa Stakes to add to the black-type haul. Furthermore, her winning daughter Madame Pauline (Redoute’s Choice) is also the dam of G3 Pago Pago Stakes winner Skyhook (Written Tycoon).

Madame Andree is the only active broodmare in Australia by the G1 Kentucky Derby winner War Emblem (USA), and she is responsible for three of seven stakes winners out of his daughters.

Lot 925 - Justify (USA) x Tulip (Pierro), filly - on account of Coolmore Stud

At the time the catalogue went to print, this filly’s dam, dual Group 3 winner Tulip (Pierro), had yet to produce a winner from four foals of racing age, but how swiftly that can change.

This filly’s half-brother Botanist (Wootton Bassett {USA}) was a $900,000 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale graduate in 2024 and the Chris Waller camp have patiently prepared him for a spring 3-year-old debut. At start number three, it all started to click into place, and he raced away to a bold, frontrunning victory at Warwick Farm. He ran a solid fourth on New Year’s Day and looks to have the best yet to come in the autumn.

Tulip is one of three stakes winners from her dam, G3 Vanity Stakes winner Musidora (Rock Of Gibraltar {Ire}), and her half-sister G3 Caulfield Classic victress Sacred Eye (High Chaparral {Ire}) further furnished the page by way of her son Sacrify (So You Think {NZ}) bringing up win number three in November.
