An outstanding half brother to champion juvenile Hasna topped the 2010 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale when he sold for $925,000. Charles Laird was the leading buyer of the sale spending A$2.86 million on 10 lots.

The colt, by leading Arrowfield Stud sire Redoute's Choice, was snapped up by Lindsay Park bloodstock agent Mark Pilkington and BC3 Australia boss Bill Vlahos.

The duo were thrilled outbid Hasna's former trainer Gai Waterhouse to grab the star lot of the sale.

The colt will be prepared by the BC3 team prior to joining the stables of David Hayes.

"I think most people on the grounds thought he was the best colt," Pilkingon said.

"He has all the necessary athletic qualities and clearly the best pedigree in the book," he added.

Vlahos said he was thrilled to be forming a link with the Lindsay Park training operation.

"I wanted to become involved in a top juvenile prospect and have who I think is the country's best two-year-old trainer prepare him," he said.

"I'm thrilled to be going into a joint partnership with such a great racing stable," Vlahos added.

A strong night of selling helped push the overall Session One to Four gross to $66.64 million. The average price per lot was $129,399 and the clearance rate of 82 per cent.

"It's been a very successful sale," Magic Millions Managing Director David Chester reported following Saturday night's session.

"The sale gross is up on last year with a stronger clearance rate - and the average is only a tick under last year's figures."

"All in all we're very pleased and I've spoken to many vendors and they seem pleased with their results."

The fifth session sale will be held at the complex from 11am (Qld time) tomorrow.

"There are some really attractive youngsters going under the hammer and all astute buyers should be there."
