Mulcaster Bloodstock and Waller Racing finish Monday's session as the leading buyer

In addition to buying the last yearling by Redoute’s Choice (Danehill) to be offered at public auction, Waller Racing an Mulcaster Bloodstock bought one further lot at the Magic Millions National Sale on Monday when going to $320,000 to secure a colt by I Am Invincible (Invincible Spirit) out of Serena Miss (Iffraaj).

Offered by Torryburn Stud, the colt is the third foal out of dual Group 2 winner and New Zealand 2,000 Guineas (Gr 1, 1600m) runner-up Serena Miss. She is a half-sister to multiple Listed winner Presently (Unbridled’s Song)and the dam of dual South African Grade 2 winner New Predator (New Approach). 

Mulcaster told Racing & Sports that he had seen the colt earlier in the year and believes that the son of I Am Invincible was a lot cheaper today than he would have been had he sold at the Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale as originally planned. 

“He was destined for Easter and just had a little setback,” said Mulcaster.  “We knew a lot about him. We have a lot of horses spell at Torryburn and I liked him previously and liked him even better today, because he probably wasn’t nearly as expensive as he would have been a couple of months ago.” 

Mulcaster said that the National Yearling Sale is not a sale that he usually targets but after he was outbid a number of times at the National Weanling Sale a couple of weeks ago, his attention was turned to this sale. 

“This isn’t usually a sale that we target, but we got blown out of the water on some of the weanlings and a number of the horses that got sold today hadn’t made it to Magics earlier or Inglis, for various reasons and so we’d already seen them on the farms and had good notes on them,” said Mulcaster.  

“We went back and saw them the last few days and managed to get a bit of support for the ones we wanted. We got one for a Hong Kong client and a couple for the stable clients and some other stable clients picked up some fillies so all in all it was a pretty good day really. 

“I think all the sales have been competitive. When you’re racing for such good prize money, it doesn’t surprise you at all. The people bidding on the horses today were the same people bidding at every other sale really.”

Mulcaster Bloodstock also went to $220,000 to secure Lot 1512, a colt by Dundeel (High Chaparral) out of three-time winner Quizzed (Oratorio) from the draft of Kenmore Lodge. 

Waller Racing and Mulcaster Bloodstock finished Monday as the leading buyers having spent $530,000 on two lots.
