The Magic Millions yearling record set on Thursday lasted little more than 24 hours with a filly out of Sunlight setting a new mark late on Friday’s ‘super session’. The daughter of Home Affairs got to $3.2 million before being knocked down to Japanese trainer Mitsu Nakauchida. The filly assumed honours as the highest-priced yearling ever sold by Magic Millions from the colt by Snitzel out of Humma Humma, who sold for $2.8 million on Day 3.
The only more expensive yearlings sold in Australia are Winx’s first foal, who sold for $10m at Inglis Easter last year, and the $5m half-brother to Black Caviar and $4m Fastnet Rock colt from Easter 2013. It was a dream result for Home Affairs, who obliterated the record for the highest-priced product of a first-season sire. Home Affairs, who like Sunlight won a Coolmore Stud Stakes, stands at Coolmore, which is where Sunlight resides after being purchased for $4.
