Leading trainer Ciaron Maher has set a Magic Millions record after paying $2.8million dollars by a colt by leading stallion Snitzel out of the dam Humma Humma.
Offered as Lot 489 by Widden Stud, this colt boasts a distinguished pedigree. His sire, Snitzel, is a four-time Australian Champion Sire renowned for producing top-tier racehorses. His dam, Humma Humma, is a Group III-winning mare.
The colt’s lineage is further enhanced by his half-sister, Price Tag, who recently placed fourth in the Group III Maribyrnong Plate at Flemington.
The sale attracted significant attention from prominent buyers, reflecting the colt’s exceptional breeding. The $2.8 million price tag stands as a Magic Millions record surpassing the previous record of $2.7million, highlighting the continued investment in quality bloodstock within the industry.
ALL TIME RECORD!
