Breeze Up Sales 29/9/09

Sizzling Times As Sequalo Filly Runs Quickest At Gold Coast
Lightning times were the order of the day at the Gold Coast Turf Club today when the first of two breeze up sessions in the lead up to the 2009 Magic Millions Horses in Training Sale was held.
Some 34 horses broke the magical 11 seconds barrier - headlined by the 10.35 seconds carved out by a filly by Sequalo from Baramul Stud.
Catalogued as lot number 138, the Sequalo filly is the first foal of a Danehill three quarter sister to Verstak and half sister to Show of Force.
Two colts - by Danzero and Happy Giggle - ran the second quickest time of the day - 10.4 seconds.
Another pair of two-year-olds ran under 10.5 - colts by Danehill stallions Untouchable and Fastnet Rock.
First season sires to impress with sub 11 runners included the likes of Stratum, Hidden Dragon, Keep the Faith, Snitzel, Jet Spur, Greenwood Lake and Snippetson.
Others to run under 11 seconds today included progeny of proven sires including Flying Spur, Bel Esprit, Sequalo, Al Maher, Testa Rossa, Hussonet, More Than Ready, Bletchley Park, Fastnet Rock, Savabeel and Tale of the Cat.
Magic Millions Managing Director David Chester said the session was extremely successful with a number of stand out performances.
"We've never had so many horses run under 11 seconds here at the Gold Coast track before," Chester said.
"And this just the first session of breeze ups - there will be plenty more to be put through their paces next month."
Chester said the horses were exceptionally presented by their vendors and he was confident they would be well received by prospective buyers in the lead up the popular auction.
"The vendors keep getting more professional each year," Chester pointed out. "They should be congratulated for how the day went."
"There are plenty of good looking horses and most importantly they all look exciting racetrack prospects."
Video clips from the breeze ups will be available from Thursday on the Magic Millions website.
And entries remain open for the new racehorse sale to be held on the day following the second session of the Horses in Training Sale next month.
"Entries are just $150 plus GST - this is the best spot to offer your tried galloper to a worldwide buying bench."
