A member of the first crop of young Newgate Farm stallion Russian Revolution (Snitzel-Ballet D’Amour, by Stravinsky) topped Day 1 of the 2021 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale when selling for $325,000 today. Leading local trainer Simon Miller snared the day's top seller after a fierce bidding battle at the Swan Valley complex. The colt is the seventh living foal of the four-time winning and top producing Blackfriars mare Magical Belle (ex Magic Zem, by Zemindar). At stud she is already the dam of stakes-winner Enchanted Dream, stakes-placed Mystic Maid and the unbeaten Hong Kong galloper Winner Method. "I didn't think I would have to go that much," Miller revealed post purchase. "For starters he has an unbelievable temperament. Being so popular he's virtually been out all day, every day and his mannerisms never deviated." Miller observed, "It's a great result for Darling View - they deserve to get a result because they have supported the local sale when they could have gone to a sale like the Gold Coast." The top selling Russian Revolution colt was bred by the Atwell family's Darling View Thoroughbreds and sold through the Western Breeders Alliance draft.
