Amelia Park and Western Breeders Alliance topped a new-look leader-board for Sunspeed vendors at the Perth Magic Millions yearling sale.

In its first year selling at Belmont, Amelia Park topped the averages with 6 sold at $93,167.  Second-year vendor Western Breeders Alliance was next best with 14 lots averaging $63,500.

Western Breeders Alliance sold its first yearlings at the 2015 Perth Magic Millions for an aggregate of $223,000 and its turnover climbed to $889,000.  It will rise again next year with the first yearlings on stream by Group 1 Hong Kong sprinter My Admiration (Encosta de Lago).

Leading the WBA yearlings was the $170,000 Oratorio – Agribiz colt to be trained by Wally Mitchell.

I had him on top,” Mitchell said.  “We’ve run second in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic three times so we’re going to try and have another go.”

Western Breeders Alliance also sold the Your Song half-brother this year’s Magic Millions Classic winner The River for $135,000.  He will be prepared by Trevor Andrews for the majority of part-owners in The River.

He’s obviously pretty attractive and I’m pleased to get hold of him,” Andrews said after striking early on Day 1.  “He’s an easy horse to sell and will be an up and running style Magic Millions horse for next year.”

Andrews bought The River for $115,000 from Western Breeders Alliance last year and he’s been one of the leading juveniles in Perth winning the Magic Millions Classic on the eve of this year’s Perth Sale.
