This quality PIERRO colt is one of the very few Magic Million yearlings bred to race at the elite middle-distance level.
1600m-2400m is where the big prizemoney is at in Australia and overseas. By purchasing a colt bred this way, you give yourself a big chance of having a runner in a Guineas, a Derby or Cup.
Most importantly, it also earns you the chance to target the $1m Magic Millions Subzero (2400m) which is run annually on Magic Millions Day. This is arguably the most winnable million-dollar race run in Australia each year due to its narrow eligibility criteria.
This colt was widely reported as one of the best foals from champion race mare AQUA D’AMORE. He is a well grown, lovely balanced medium sized colt who I think looks very much like his sire who is also medium sized. He is correct with good x-rays and scope and I like that he is an early foal.
There is virtually no guess work in buying this colt. The mare’s best two performers are also by PIERRO, and this colt is much better type than both of them.
This colt was purchased very well at $200k, given the sale averaged $290k.
PIERRO yearlings sold up to $1.5m and averaged $383k at the 2022 Magic Millions Gold Coast yearling sale.
