Russian Revolution, the leading first season sire in Australia has produced the highest priced filly sold at the Perth Magic Millions Yearling Sale on Tuesday when the filly out of Samovare sold for $320,000.
Consigned by Amelia Park Racing and Breeding, she is the first foal of multiple Group III winning Savabeel mare Samovare and was bought by Mark Pilkington Bloodstock’s online bid.
“I loved her proven and current black type pedigree” Pilkington said.
“She (Samovare) was a high class mare and Russian Revolution has sired a couple of high class fillies in recent times”.
“She was very well recommended by many at the sale as a scopey filly that should love a mile at three. It would be lovely if she found her way to the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas – after we ran third this year with Socialist who is by another promising young Newgate stallion.”
“She’s a BOBS filly which probably explains the number of Sydney trainers who have rung to put their hat into the ring.”
The star filly comes with a big Black Type pedigree as her dam Samovare is a half-sister to Group winners TIGER OF MALAY and SAMIZDAT tracing back to the family of Golden Slipper winner DARK ECLIPSE.
Deep Field also featured at the top end of the market with a colt out of Ms Mazetti fetching $300,000 for Willow Dale Farm when bought by Adam Durrant.
Capitalist also made his presence felt with a filly out of Ellibuba making $210,000 for Western Breeders Alliance when snapped up by Ridgeport Holdings.
