South African racing icon Carry On Alice, a multiple Grade 1-winning daughter of Captain Al, continued to make waves on the global stage this week at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale in Australia. Her filly by The Autumn Sun, cataloged as Lot 248, fetched an impressive AUS $900,000 on Wednesday, underscoring the enduring value of her bloodlines.

Consigned by the Arrowfield Stud, the striking bay filly was snapped up by Michael Hickmott Bloodstock, further cementing Carry On Alice’s reputation as a sought-after producer of high-quality progeny.
