By super stallion Zoustar out of the Fastnet Rock mare Fast Talker, Zougotcha was a $500,000 Inglis Easter Yearling buy who won on debut as a two-year-old at Canterbury before going on to dominate in her three-year-old campaign with victories in the Group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes (1200m), the Group 2 Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) and Group 1 Flight Stakes (1600m).

She tasted more Group 1 glory in the spring of 2024 when she followed up her Group 2 Millie Fox Stakes (1300m) victory with slashing wins in the Coolmore Classic (1500m) and Queen of the Turf Stakes (1600m).

Another triple Group 1-winning mare trained by Chris Waller, Atishu, also went through the sales ring, fetching $2.7m from Yulong.

Atishu won 11 races, including the Queen Of The Turf, Mackinnon Stakes and Empire Rose Stakes at Group 1 level, and almost $6m in prizemoney

A total of 486 lots are being offered at the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale.

Tom Magnier of Coolmore also shelled out $1.35m to secure the regally-bred former Peter Moody and Katherine Coleman-trained mare Moesha (I Am Invincible-Princess Coup). Moesha was a $650,000 yearling when bought by Rosemont Stud and David Redvers Bloodstock at the 2022 Inglis Easter Yearling Sale.

Multiple Group 2 and Group 3-winning mare Revolutionary Miss (Russian Revolution-Purcentage) was another to sell for seven figures, knocked down to Katsumi Yoshida for $1.6m.
