Third member of popular family sells for seven figures at Magic Millions.

The thirst for members of Zenaida's family continued on Day 3 at the National Broodmare Sale when a daughter of the Zabeel mare sold for $1.5 million.

Macroura became the third member of the family to top seven figures at the three-day Magic Millions sale when she went through the ring around an hour into the session.

The Group 3-winning daughter of Snitzel was bought by the powerful Yulong operation, 24 hours after the same farm paid $1.4 million for her mother in-foal to Maurice.

On Day 1, Macroura's half-sister Sunshine In Paris – a daughter of Invader who won the Group 1 Surround Stakes last start – became the highest-priced three-year-old filly ever sold in Australia when knocked down to James Harron for $3.9 million.

Yulong missed out on Sunshine In Paris, but the Victorian farm's chief operating officer Sam Fairgray said they were keen to be involved with the family.

"It's great to secure her after buying her mother yesterday and we'll try and build the family with her," he said.

"There are two very fast fillies out of the mare and we'll keep breeding and try and keep fillies and see how we go with building the family."

Macroura was presented for sale by Vinery Stud, who sold her on behalf of A List Stud, which paid $420,000 for Macroura at the Chairman's Sale two years ago.

"We were fairly optimistic coming in but she exceeded our expectations, which was good but that's what the sale is doing at the moment with mares of that quality," Vinery's Peter Orton said.

Macroura was sold in-foal to Deep Field, which will be her second foal, having had an I Am Invincible filly in August last year.
