Sydney, April 9 – Yarraman Park based Magic Albert was represented by a new stakes horse at Royal Randwick on Easter Monday when the Gary Portelli trained three year-old Something Anything finished third to Danleigh and Reigning to Win in the Group Three AJC South Pacific Classic over 1400 metres.
A winner at Caulfield last spring, Something Anything has obviously come back in good style improving sharply on his first up seventh in the Listed STC Darby Munro Quality when posted wide throughout.
Something Anything has now won $91,880 for his syndicate of eight owners and could easily add to that in coming weeks with an abundance of suitable three-year old races on the calendar, particularly in Brisbane.
Something Anything was offered by Yarraman Park as agent at the 2005 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale where he was knocked down to Gary Portelli for $40,000.
He is the sixth foal of the Kala Dancer (GB) mare Maline, a three-quarter sister-in-blood to We’re Dancing and half-sister to Group Three winner Allez Glen.
Something Anything is the seventh stakes performer for Magic Albert this season in Australia and New Zealand, joining Group One winner Magic Cape, plus Alberto, Magic Jet, Maritess, Al Be Nimble and General Albert.
After covering 180 mares last spring at Yarraman Park, Magic Albert has had a fee increase for 2007 and will stand at $16,500.
