Arrowfield goes into the 2019 Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale with a superlative three-decade record of 59 Group 1-winning sale graduates, 11 of them in the past four years, including three in 2018: sensational 3YO colt The Autumn Sun, Champion 2YO & Golden Slipper winner Estijaab and Spring Champion S. G1 winner Maid Of Heaven.

Magic Millions buyers regularly strike gold in the Arrowfield barns, with recent finds including Group 1 winners Invader, Secret Agenda & Sweet Idea, and Group winners Showtime, Scarlet Rain, Dracarys and Honesty Prevails.

Four key factors drive the quality of Arrowfield’s 64-lot 2019 Magic Millions consignment:

* Unparalleled access to reigning Champion Sire Snitzel, leading sire Not A Single Doubt and the legend himself, Redoute’s Choice.

* Investment in and serious support for outstanding young stallions from alternative international sire-lines, including Dundeel, Olympic Glory, Real Impact & Scissor Kick.

* An exceptional broodmare band, constantly refreshed and upgraded by substantial investment and strategic partnerships.

* The first-class skill, effort and care of Team Arrowfield from conception through to the selection & preparation of yearlings for sale.
