The value of buying from the Williams family’s Hudson Conway draft at Magic Millions auctions was highlighted on Saturday when three previous graduates were city winners.

Module kick started the day when he went two for two for new connections with a powerful win in the Rising Stars Final (1800m) at Flemington.

Now prepared at Moe by Peter Gelagotis, Module was sent out the well supported favourite following a strong win in Adelaide on debut for the stable recently.

A five-year-old son of Reset, Module sat midfield early before coming with a well timed run under Ashley Thompson to win impressively.

Module ($2.50-$3-$2.30 fav) pulled clear over the concluding stages to beat Conquering Journey ($9-$10-$6.50) by a length, while Prizum ($7.50-$9.50-$9) was another length back in third place.

Gelagotis’ brother Manny “specced” Module and had Victorian based agent Cameron Cooke buy him when he was offered without reserve at this year’s Magic Millions January Racehorse Sale.

The Gelagotis stable went to $70,000, through Cooke, to secure the five-year-old.

At his previous run prior to the sale Module ran third behind the highly regarded Gelagotis trained black type performer Belgietto – a Magic Millions National Horses in Training graduate.

From two runs for his new connections, Module has already earned $65,750 – just shy of his purchase price with a bright future ahead.

“We knew he had the ability and we haven’t improved him or anything like that,” Manny Gelagotis said.

“We’re just thankful that the Williams family give others a chance of buying a proven racehorse with a good future.”

“I rang Cameron Cooke who was up at the sale in Queensland at the time and I specced him for $70,000,” he added.

Strumming made it a double for Hudson Conway graduates when he impressively won over 1500 metres at Eagle Farm in Brisbane.

A five-year-old gelded son of Iglesia, Strumming notched career win five when he led throughout at juicy double figure odds to win for Gerald Ryan and Jason Taylor.

Strumming ($21) cruised to the line to beat Zippy Lou ($4.20-$5) by three parts of a length, while fellow Williams Gold Coast sold graduate Hume ($8.50-$9-$8) was a similar margin back in third place.

“He is a genuine sort of horse who’s now won in Sydney and Brisbane for us,” Ryan said.

“We’ll have some more fun with him that’s for sure.”

The gelding is one of three horses trained by Ryan for Glenn Makauskas and his family.

Another, the Snitzel galloper Alvitas, another Magic Millions graduate, won a $100,000 feature on the same Eagle Farm card.

Makauskas went to $72,000 to secure Strumming from the Hudson Conway draft at the Gold Coast in 2009 and since the purchase he’s earned over $92,000 and that figure will continue to rise into the future.

Hume who ran third in the same race is another successful Williams Racing sold runner at the Gold Coast. He’s earned $296,075 for his new connections who paid just $22,000 for him in 2009.

The metropolitan treble was completed when the quality three-year-old Hampden made it three wins from four starts in the $50,000 three-year-old event at Eagle Farm.

Hampden ($7-$4.40-$4.60) got to the line in the 1400 metre race to beat the Tamworth trained runner Mujahu ($21) by a half length. Fellow MM graduate Fire Up Fifi ($8) was another short head back in third place.

A three-year-old gelded son of Savabeel, himself a MM graduate who won the Cox Plate, Hampden notched a treble for former Rockhampton based horseman Darryl Hansen.

“I gave him a great chance,” Hansen told reporters. “I threw him in the deep end and he swam.”

Hampden, who’d raced just once in Victoria when sold at the Gold Coast in January, is raced by Michael Milford.

Milford paid $36,000 for Hampden and in just six months he’s already earned $51,250 with his new charge.

The gelding looks one of the more progressive in South East Queensland and he is sure to have that earnings figure grow over the coming months and seasons.

Stay tuned for the next annual dispersal from the Williams family’s Hudson Conway team to be conducted by Magic Millions on the Gold Coast.
