More than 450 Lots featuring a representation of 22 first-season sires have been catalogued for Magic Millions Adelaide Sale.
"As well as being one of the most popular auctions for future trainers and owners, the sale has the most outstanding record of being a pin-hookers paradise," Magic Millions managing director Barry Bowditch said.
Wootton Bassett, Ole Kirk and Farnan are among the first-season sires represented after each had a yearling fetch a seven-figure sum at the Magic Millions Gold Coast sale.
Other freshman sires with strong numbers include Dirty Work, Hanseatic and Tagaloa.
"The Adelaide yearling sale has a proud history of producing elite racehorses," Bowditch said.
"From Caulfield Cup and Victoria Derby winners to sizzling Group One sprinters and elite milers to superstar juveniles, our Morphettville-based auction delivers every year."
