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 whose page has fresh appeal for buyers and vendors alike.
Lot 641 - Capitalist x Orabelle (Casino Prince), colt - on account of Newgate Farm
This colt is already a half-brother to Listed Sheila Gwynne Classic winner Generosity (Divine Prophet), but it has been his half-sister Midnight In Tokyo (Kobayashi) that has taken centre stage in updating his pedigree ahead of his time in the ring next week. Midnight In Tokyo has been a perennial bridesmaid at stakes level, recording seven stakes placings in her career to date. She added an eighth just after the catalogue went to print.

Come the end of November, the 6-year-old finally had her well deserved breakthrough, winning the Listed Tattersalls Classic at Doomben. A fortnight later, she backed up the effort with victory from the front in the Listed Just Now at Eagle Farm to become her dam’s first dual stakes winner. She closed off the preparation with another placing - another second in the Listed Nudgee Stakes. Job well done!
Lot 758 - Street Boss (USA) x Salamati (Ger) (Dubawi {Ire}), colt - on account of Newhaven Park
This colt’s dam Salamati (Ger) (Dubawi {Ire}) has been a consistent producer to date with five foals to the track for four winners. The best performed so far is Persian Spirit (Cable Bay {Ire}), a five-time winner when the catalogue went to print, and the gelding has been busy ever since making sure that the page keeps getting better.

In three starts since early November, Persian Spirit nabbed a second placing in the Listed Testa Rossa Stakes - his first stakes performance - where he was beaten a short neck by Group 1 winner Here To Shock (NZ) (Shocking). Next up, he added a sixth win and over $130,000 in prize money in the $175,000 VOBIS Gold Bullion, and followed that with a third in the Listed Kensington Stakes behind million dollar earner Zou Sensation (Zoustar) and Group-winning, Group 1-performed Steparty (Artie Schiller {USA}).
It’s good company to be in, and it provides Salamati with her first black-type performer at a crucial moment in time.
Lot 972 - Hellbent x Whatalovelyday (Domesday), colt - on account of Segenhoe Stud
Most people will be interested in this colt as a full brother of G1 Goodwood Handicap victress Benedetta (Hellbent), but half-sister Sunset Dreaming (Impending) has been hard at work to keep increasing the black-type under their shared dam.

Already a four-time winner - including an edition of the $175,000 VOBIS Gold Eureka Stockade - Sunset Dreaming has spent most of her career in Victoria, and she was sent north this spring to tackle stakes company in Queensland. In fact, she ran into Midnight In Tokyo several times; first in the Listed Keith Noud Handicap, where Midnight In Tokyo finished second and Sunset Dreaming finished fourth.
Two starts later, they met again in the Just Now, where Sunset Dreaming clinched her first stakes placing coming second, and then again at the beginning of January in the Nudgee, where she picked up a third. Alongside another half-sister Whatafox (Foxwedge), Group-placed in the G2 Moonee Valley Fillies Classic, this colt can now boast three stakes-performing siblings, two of whom have definitely improved with age.
