The Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale, regarded by many as Australia’s best value thoroughbred auction, is fast approaching.

A quality catalogue of 393 yearlings will go under the hammer during two action packed days of selling on March 15 and 16.

It will be a big few days in the South Australian capital with the state’s most famous race, the Adelaide Cup, being run at Morphettville on the day before the sale, March 14.

The Adelaide Yearling Sale, which last year boasted an average price of $26,792, has produced many outstanding gallopers over the years.

Divine Madonna, Mummify, Undoubtedly, Devil Moon, Blevvo, Young Centaur, Spin Around, Hard to Get and Casino Prince are all winners at racing’s elite level and all graduates of the Morphettville Sales Complex.

“There wouldn’t be a sale anywhere across Australasia with such a record for producing good winners at value prices,” Magic Millions Acting Managing Director David Chester reported.

“I know buyers from the sale in recent years will all be back – delighted with their purchases and knowing the exceptional value they got.”
