Gai just paid £1.2m (roughly $2.1m aud) for the English Derby runner up - Hoo Ya Mal.

Only win is a 2yo maiden at York & started at 150/1 in the Derby.

Will he be Gai’s next Michaelangelo? Or Tres Blue?

He could win this Years Cup if he is trained in Europe. 

He'll just be a plodder in our trainers systems.

He's a plodder now isn't he?

No. He is a very good horse despite only having a maiden to his name he has real good form.

You are correct.

And at this stage this new bloke is better so hopefully I am completely wrong.

Interestingly Fiorente ran second behind Nathaniel in this race 12 years ago.

Hoo Ya Mal is entered in the Hampton Court Stakes (Group 3) of £100,000 on Thursday. I say he will plod. Big smile

Railway Man - $2.5m colt at 2023 Magic Millions

Debuted with a 5th of 7 on the Kenso today beaten 6 lengths.

Curiously the horse was sold as a yearling by Coolmore, who are now also part owner.  Presumably majority owner given he went around in their purple with white seams today.  So was the true price actually $2.5m??

One of the oldest tricks in the book.

A colt's worth $1m, and the breeder meets with a noted and well-regarded purchaser.  They agree on a sale price of say $1.7m, and the vendor is allowed to buy back in for a percentage of $1m.  Either that and/or the purchaser receives a kickback from the vendor.  After which the purchaser sells shares in the horse at the inflated value.

Not that I'm saying that's what happened here.

Monolink , a $900,000 yearling filly by I Am Invincible just broke her maiden at Swifts Creek in a $5,000 maiden. First prize $2,300 to bring her prize money to just under $10,000 Confused

Still in the original ownership according to Racing Australia.  Wonder if  Sheamus Mills was up at Swift's Creek enjoying a cold beer and a hot dog.

Interesting to note that the dam never ran out of Stakes company, running 2nd twice in a row in Listed company as a 2yo at Scone and Doomben before winning a Listed race over 1400 at the Gold Coast on the Tatts Tiara day moved there because of Eagle Farm problems, she grabbed a G3 placing on Caulfield Guineas day as a 3yo before running 6th in the Crockett and 4th in the Light Fingers (her final start) on resumption the following autumn, beating the previous springs Thousand Guineas winning Stay With Me in the process.
Seeing Manchester United relegated would mean more than words can describe to me.
