Mill Park Stud Overview

Happy Trails is a half to Lot 400 (pic: Mark Gatt)

This farm has produced three Caulfield Cup winners in the last decade, and their Magic Millions drafts have included Gr1 winners Rebel Raider and Captain Sonador, a fine record to carry into this sale.

In 2016, Mill Park Stud will offer a draft of seven yearlings at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale. A half-brother to triple Gr1 winner Happy Trails, Lot 400, is by All Too Hard, and the five winners from their dam have won 22 races to date. Also by All Too Hard is Lot 257, a filly from stakes-placed Furline, out of Gr2 winner and Gr1 placed Umalina, from the family of Captain Sonador.

Second season sires Sepoy and Helmet are represented here with members of the same family. Lot 683, by Sepoy, is from winning mare Tobouggie Woogie, who is a half-sister to Gr2 winner Majestic Music from the family of Gr1 winner Serious Speed. Helmet has Lot 118, a half-brother to Listed winner Victory Chant, out of winning mare Classic Status, herself a half sister to Gr1 winner Serious Speed.

Lot 139 is by proven sire Street Cry, a colt from Gr2 winner Dances of Wave, who is a half-sister to the dam of Gr1 winner Preferment; while Lot 189 is by Snitzel and is out of stakes-placed 2YO winner Elusive Wonder from a family with plenty of good 2YOs in it.

Rounding out the draft is Lot 444, a colt from stakes-placed Miss With Attitude. This is her first foal and is by proven sire Dalakhani, who has his first Australian-bred crop at the sales this season. This colt is from a strong European family that includes Champion 3YO Stayer in Europe Encke, who is out of a Champion 3YO Filly in Shawanda.
