Unraced Hope In Your Heart brother Putcee tops Magic Millions Digital at $30,000

Liam Ruddy bought unraced three-year-old Putcee, the full-brother to multiple Group 1-placed Hope In Your Heart, for $30,000 after 38 bids to top the Magic Millions Digital November 6–11 sale.

Torryburn Stud offered the Dundeel gelding out of Hayaat; his only recorded public outing was a barrier trial at Kembla Grange on June 5, where he finished fifth, 9.5 lengths behind The Munster, over 800 metres.

Hope In Your Heart won the Group 2 Guy Walter Stakes and retired with $1,715,250 in earnings.

Torryburn also sold Redushka for the same connections. Strathavon Thoroughbreds paid $12,000 for her after 33 bids.

“They are hard horses to value as they are not exposed but both (Putcee and Redushka) exceeded our expectations,” Torryburn stud manager Mel Copelin said.

Pearce Racing catalogued two 2.5 per cent shares in Let’s Galahvant without reserve, and they sold to different buyers for $4,000 each. The eight-year-old Galah gelding is a million-dollar earner and is being set for the Group 1 Railway Stakes over 1600 metres at Ascot on November 21.

Maiden Emphatique made $16,000, while Stormbringer, a five-year-old with three wins across Canberra and Goulburn, sold for $13,000.

Entries for the November 20–25 sale close at midnight on November 18.
