Fung Purchase Leads MM Weanlings Day 2

The first foal of former star racemare Ellicazoom (Testa Rossa) topped Day 2 of a record-breaking 2021 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale at the Gold Coast on Friday. The colt, a son of Yarraman Park Stud's hugely commercial stallion I Am Invincible (leader of the 2020-21 Black Type Sire Premiership), was knocked down to Shane McGrath on behalf of Tony Fung Investments for $625,000 to be the day's top seller. He was consigned by Kitchwin Hills. "He's a lovely colt," McGrath said. "He's by a serious sire in I Am Invincible and as a first foal we really liked him - plenty of size and scope. His dam was a very good racemare herself and could have won the William Reid (Stakes) and been a Group 1 winner." McGrath added, "There's a lot of substance to him and he's come off a great farm. We've had a lot of luck buying off Kitchwin. He made his money, but he's a proper colt.”
