ROSEMONT Stud
Fashion Legend is a Gr.3 winner, sold by Rosemont for $260K who went on to win over $1.5 million. Rosemont Stud lived up to the brand of ‘breeding brilliance’ with Gr1 winner and Magic Millions Gold Coast graduate Mr Quickie, who earned over $2million as a racehorse after being sold by Rosemont for $115,000. Many of their other Magic Millions graduates have shown plenty of profit for buyers too, such as Gr2 North Star Lass (sold by Rosemont for $260,000 and was on-sold as a broodmare for $1.525million), Gr3 Fashion Legend (who has earned over $1.5million off a purchase price of $260,000), Gr3 Chica Fuerte (sold as a yearling by Rosemont for $300,000, earned $350,000 as a racehorse and was on-sold as a broodmare prospect for $900,000), and promising group placed three year-old Gates. Rosemont Stud will present a strong draft of seventeen yearlings at the 2024 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale, with youngsters by Bivouac, Blue Point, Encryption, Exceed and Excel, Hanseatic, I Am Invincible, Maurice, Shamus Award, Starspangledbanner, Zousain and Zoustar. How would you sum up your 2024 draft? “It’s an exciting draft with strong pedigreed individuals whose type match their outstanding profiles,” said bloodstock General Manager Ryan McEvoy. “It’s probably the strongest group we’ve ever taken as a collective with high profile commercial sires and plenty of yearlings out of stakes winning dams or out of mares who have produced a stakes winner. When you assess the stakes results from any given weekend invariably the winners are from stakes winning or stakes producing dams. I’d like to think that anyone reading the catalogue will be impressed with the Rosemont draft and furthermore when they inspect the draft at the sale.”

I Am Invincible filly, Lot 805, is the first foal of dual Gr3 winner Jamaican Rain, from the family of Gr1 winner Outstrip (sire of Melbourne Cup winner Gold Trip). She is all quality and bred on the larger, very successful I Am Invincible – Encosta De Lago cross. Two Exceed and Excel colts will catch the judges’ eyes; Lot 709 is the first live foal of Gr2 Wakefield Challenge Stakes winner Gift of Power who was a tough racemare, winning eleven races with three of those as a two year-old. This colt is from the Eight Carat family of Don Eduardo, Octagonal, etc. Lot 962 is a half-brother to Gr3 two year-old winner Treasurway and this colt is only the third foal of four-time winning mare Miss Toorak Flyer. “We can’t be more excited to present the first crop yearlings by the brilliant Hanseatic. He was such a scintillating two year-old himself that was so highly rated by many a fine judge. He was the most popular sire in Victoria in his first season at stud and now his first yearlings hit the market.” An explosive two yearold who won three races, all in black type company, including the Gr3 Blue Diamond Prelude (c&g) and was second to Tagaloa in the Gr1 Blue Diamond, Hanseatic will be represented in the Rosemont Stud draft by five colts, led by the half-brother to Gr1 winner Krone, Lot 1398, whose dam is a half-sister to Gr1 winner Universal Prince and Universal Queen. The third foal of Gr1 Tattersalls Tiara winner Tycoon Tara is Lot 320 and his dam won ten races with six of those in group company. Gr3 winner Cameo’s colt, Lot 502, is well-related, as his dam is a half-sister to Gr1 Queensland Derby winner Kukeracha.
