Eclipsing the record sale price of $650,000 paid on Monday for a Stay Inside filly, the colt was the star foal on the second day of selling with Equine Growth Fund the winning bidder.

Stefan Pardi, who secured a filly by The Autumn Sun for $280,000 during the first session, signed for the colt, a brother to Group 2 winner Too Darn Lizzie, on behalf of the fund.

“It's a model of sophisticated investors that I have on board - 10 to 20 of them,” Pardi said.

“I have an appetite to pinhook. I've been successful over the last couple of years doing it. We all put our money together, and we just try to find the right ones.

“We're buying them mostly at the top end, so that's really what I do. Just a cool bunch of people with a cool bunch of money, and we go from there.”

Pardi is back in the game after having a Racing NSW ban lifted over his involvement in several thoroughbred-related companies

He was warned off NSW racecourses in 2009 before that was overturned.

“It was a very, very dark time in my life, and I’ve certainly cleaned that act up a long time ago, or I wouldn’t be here,” Pardi told members of the bloodstock media.

A bay colt praised for his temperament as one of the most inspected weanlings on the ground at Riverside, the sale is likely to trigger a monumental week for his blue-blooded family.

His dam, the Magnus mare Enbihaar, and Too Darn Lizzie will be among the eagerly anticipated Lots to go through the Inglis Chairman’s Sale on Thursday night.

They will also be consigned by Widden Stud.

“Well, that was another key element to buying here. I think (Too Darn Lizzie) … she's going to make good money,” Pardi said.

“The family's outstanding, anyway.”

Pardi signed for $1.235 million worth of bloodstock from three lots purchased across the two days.

Enbihaar will be offered in foal to Widden’s champion sire Zoustar.

Too Darn Lizzie comes off the racetrack after winning the Group 2 Thousand Guineas Prelude before finishing in the minor placing in the Group I Thousand Guineas for high-profile owner Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Webber raced Too Darn Hot and he paid $1 million for Too Darn Lizzie via agent Johnny McKeever at the 2023 Magic Millions sale to help kick-start the stallion’s career in Australia.
