Welcome
In what has been an incredibly challenging couple of years the thoroughbred industry has not only survived but prospered.
Nothing has been easy, but the racing industry has been embraced by fans and helped provide vibrancy to those affected by restrictions and lockdowns around Australia.
Quality bloodstock has been in strong demand across the country during the pandemic and we believe the catalogue we have assembled for the 2022 Perth Yearling Sale will be well received by buyers.
Sale graduates continue to race with great distinction, whether that be here in WA, across Australia or indeed internationally. The exploits of horses like the lightly raced Group One Oakleigh Plate winner Portland Sky continue to shine a light on the quality being bred and sold in the state.
Unfortunately the 2021 Magic Millions Pinjarra Ladies Raceday was conducted with no crowd due to COVID-19 restrictions. The WA 2YO Classic winner on the day, Ex Sport Man, went on to win the Karrakatta Plate and was crowned the state’s champion of his age.
In February 2021 Gemma’s Son made history at Pinjarra by becoming the first winner of the Magic Millions WA 3YO Trophy after capturing the 2YO Classic the previous year. These results were very pleasing with both horses being sired by local stallions.
Hopefully all breeders had a successful breeding season and I would like to wish all vendors and buyers a prosperous and enjoyable 2022 sale in the beautiful Swan Valley.
After a very vibrant sale in 2021 we look forward to maintaining that forward momentum this February. And just remember the selling action commences on Valentine’s Day – so please, share the love!
David Houston Manager, Magic Millions Western Australia
