Sydney, April 12 – Magic Albert had just four yearlings offered at the 2013 Inglis Australian Easter Yearling Sale and all were sold, his best result a colt from Spire that fetched $240,000 to be the second highest priced youngster sold during Session II.
Consigned for sale by Torryburn Stud, the half-brother (pictured) to Group III winner Under the Eiffel was sold to astute bloodstock agent John Foote on behalf of Hong Kong based investors.
