Australian Group 1-winning sprinter Marabi (Aus) (I Am Invincible {Aus}) is set to be offered in the Magic Millions Virtual Sale on August 27. The seven-year-old mare is in foal to Zoustar (Aus) and is expected to foal in early September.
Marabi, who is being consigned by Vinery Stud as agent for Greenwich Stud, is a half-sister to G1 Victoria Oaks winner Aristia (Aus) (Lonhro {Aus}) and is a daughter of the G2 Sunline Stakes winner Nakaaya (Aus) (Tiger Hill {Ire}). Earlier this year, Aristia's first foal, who is also by Zoustar, sold for A$725,000 at the Inglis Easter Yearling Sale.
“To be able to offer Marabi as part of the catalogue for the Virtual Sale next Tuesday is a privilege,” said Barry Bowditch, managing director of Magic Millions.
“She showed from her first start she was a very special racehorse. She strung together seven outstanding wins in succession, culminating in a brilliant victory in the G1 Oakleigh Plate.”
“Marabi is bred by an extraordinary breeder in Greg Perry – in addition to Marabi, he's responsible for Group 1 winners Artorius, Atlantic Jewel and Commanding Jewel.”
He added, “Marabi must rank as one of the finest young pregnant mares being offered anywhere in the world in 2024.”
