Magic Millions Sale Day Two Wrap

Jan 13, 2021

A busy second day of the Magic Millions sales saw owners in The Racing League make their first ever purchase, A beautiful Grey Colt by Fastnet Rock x Alice Island. The Racing League fans and owners were just as excited as we were to purchase this amazing horse with many owners already boasting how well this horse will look in their teams colours . The draft process is sure to be a hotly contested occasion with some quality horses available to our teams.

The buying didn’t stop there, once owners had their first purchase they quickly moved in and made two more purchases for the day securing a Bay Colt by Pierro x Cool Snitzel and a Bay Filly by Hellbent x Fimantino. If Day Two is anything to go by Day Three should be even better.

Listen in above as Terry, Steve and Mick discuss some of today’s action including our purchases, some of the days highlights as well as our plan going into Day Three.

 

Fastnet Rock x Alice Island

The Racing League on behalf of thousands of owners have acquired their first yearling on day 1 of the 2021 Magic Millions Sale for $215,000 (plus GST = $236,500). Fastnet Rock is one of Australia’s most successful sires with 40 G1 winners around the globe. He delivers owners in the world’s first Racing League premium level bloodlines that have always otherwise been out of reach of real Australia.

Pierro/Cool Snitzel

Owners in The Racing League struck early on Day Two of the Magic Millions Sale on the Gold Coast. On behalf of thousands of owners TRL is delighted to announce the purchase of Lot 185 a bay colt from Pierro/Cool Snitzel from the famed Newhaven Park Stud at Boorowa. Bidding was fierce but the colt was knocked down to TRL for $260,000 (plus gst = $286,000).

Hellbent x Fimatino

Our owners third purchase today came from Tyreel Stud by Hellbent x Fimantino. As a half sister to one of this weekend’s Magic Millions favourites Shaquero, we had our eye on her from the start as a horse that we wanted in our teams stable. A purchase price of $360k (+ GST = $396,000) puts this beautiful Bay Filly towards the top end of our purchases in the Magic Millions Sale.

Cool Jakey was the King of Warwick Farm  on Wednesday and NSW Tycoons owners would like to package the Metropolitan track and just take it wherever Cool Jakey goes after he kept his undefeated record intact. 

It’s remarkable that ‘Jakey’, trained on track and stabled across the road with Joe Pride, is one of those athletes, albeit of the equine kind, who thrives on his home ground. 

He won on debut at Warwick Farm way back in February of 2023 and the love affair hasn’t ended, Cool Jakey has now won 4 from 4 at ‘The Farm’ and there’s plenty more wins in store for your son of Pierro.

BOUNCE BACK FACTOR 

As Tycoons were made aware of, there’s a theory in racing that when a horse suffers from cardiac arrhythmia, “you must back it next start” and they win. 

And that was certainly the message after Cool Jakey suffered cardiac arrhythmia the previous start at Randwick, with Joe Pride telling Tycoons in the pre-race late mail, “Don’t worry about what happened last start, the horse is fine and he looks great,” how right Joe was with Cool Jakey leading all the way.

HIPPO FROM BARRIER TO BOX

Adam Hyeronimus was having his first sit on Cool Jakey and he rode him a treat. We joked before the race “just go to the front and improve your position” and that’s exactly what he did. 

“He jumped well and found a nice rhythm straight away, he had a nice time so I let him slide early into it at the 600metres so we did go a bit early. 

“He felt fantastic throughout the run and was doing it easily, so I did get a bit of a surprise how quickly he stopped. 

“So maybe I did go too early, but in saying that, maybe seven furlongs is his upper limit. On that effort he’ll be winning again” Jockey Adam Hyeronimus said.

JOE DELIGHTED

“That was good guys” trainer Joe Pride said, with a big smile to a large contingent of NSW Tycoons on Cool Jakey returning to scale. 

“Look it was nice to see him win on a track that wasn’t bottomless wet, it opens up a lot more opportunities for him. 

“In saying that if there was a 1400m for him in a fortnight on a Good track I would probably be reluctant to start him. We need to nurse him through it and the next month – six weeks isn’t going to be easy because it’s carnival time.

WHATS NEXT – PACK YOUR BAGS

The Tycoons have been very patient with Cool Jakey and their patience has been rewarded. He is building a very nice career record which stands at only 13 starts for 5 wins and a minor placing and is now pushing the $200,000 in prize money. 

‘Jakey’ has initially pulled up well, but we all know that he is a delicate soul and has to be treated with kindness and Joe is reluctant to push him too hard too quickly. Which is fair enough. 

“We might even consider travelling him maybe to Melbourne or Brisbane for a wet track, we just need to look after him.

“He’s been a good horse for us, we will look after him and his best opportunities will come in the Winter,” Joe concluded. 

Congratulations to all NSW Tycoons and winning connections.

Go you good thing!
