The Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale came to a quiet close on Friday with a single-session Book 2 that added A$767,000 to the four-day sale's gross. A total of 104 fillies and mares were sold at a clearance rate of 86% that was up on last year, while the average stayed steady at A$7,375, and the median jumped 37.5% to A$5,500.
Top lot for the session was the 6-year-old High Chaparral (Ire) mare Montrer Dame (Aus) (lot 1500), who was bought by Edinburgh Park for A$45,000. Offered off the track by Bruce Hill Racing, Montrer Dame descends from the excellent producer Procrastinate (Aus) (Jade Hunter). Her dam, Michaux (Aus) (Redoute's Choice {Aus}), is a half-sister to stakes winners Zodiac Ruler (Aus) (Zoffany {Ire}) and Almighty Girl (Aus) (Beneteau {Aus}).
Magic Millions's National Sale Series picks up again on Tuesday with the three-day National Yearling Sale.
