YULONG INVESTMENTS 2019 vendor There is a new player at the 2019 Magic Millions with the Nagambie based Yulong Investments to present their first ever yearling draft, and a strong one it is too. “We are preparing a select group of ten yearlings for the sale,” said Yulong’s Sam Fairgray, adding that “there is a good cross section of proven and younger stallions represented including the international stars Frankel and Invincible Spirit.” “We currently have a broodmare band of around 130 that will keep growing and we are keen to make the industry aware that we intend to be a strong commercial force.” What better way than to start with this exciting group of yearlings... Lot 5 - bay filly by More Than Ready from Passion Cheval (by Fastnet Rock): Fastnet Rock has done a great job with More Than Ready mares and the reverse cross looks just as exciting with the Halo line combining so well with Danehill. This filly’s dam is a city placed daughter of the stakes winner Calming from the family of Group One sprinter War Artist. “She is strong and precocious, a real jump and run two year-old type.” Lot 71 - brown filly by Dissident from Rockzel (by Zabeel): bred on a 5mx5f cross of Rolls via Flying Spur and Encosta de Lago, she is out of a half-sister to the Group Three winner Platinum Command from the prolific family of big race winners Danelagh, Vengeance Of Rain, Dizelle and Pinot. “She is a lovely, quality, athletic filly with plenty of length and scope; she has a lot of Zabeel about her.”
