July 1 – Magic Albert has enjoyed another great season during 2011/2012 and passed a milestone over the weekend when siring his 100th Australian winner since August 1.
His 100 winners have come from 219 runners giving him a seasonal winning strike rate of 45% winners to runners.
Within his total of winners have come five stakes-winners led by Group I winner Albert the Fat as well as Isopach, Straight Albert, Ron’s Call and Tai Tai Tess.
Retired to stud in 2002, Magic Albert has proven a reliable source of winners and stakes performers, his outcross pedigree proving a great foil for a wide variety of mares.
It is the second year in a row Magic Albert has sired 100 plus winners, the benefits of covering larger and better quality books of mares now becoming increasingly apparent.
Magic Albert stands this spring at a fee of $22,000.
