Leon Macdonald's love affair with graduates of the Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale rolled on at Cheltenham yesterday when the master horseman prepared a treble.
All ridden by record breaking jockey Clare Lindop, who ended the day with four winners, the performances were headlined by the performance of debuting juvenile Miss With Attitude.
A daughter of Galileo, Miss With Attitude was the top priced lot at last year's Magic Millions Adelaide Yearling Sale when snapped up by Macdonald for $160,000.
Macdonald said the bright young prospect had shown him good ability in trackwork and she was sent out the favourite with bookmakeers.
"Magic Millions here we come," Macdonald beamed after the race - saying the Morphettville juvenile feature on Adelaide Cup Day would be the main target for his newest star.
"She's always shown us a bit at home," he added.
The Morphettville trainer won last year's Adelaide 2YO Classic with Augusta Proud - the filly who also went to the Gold Coast and won the $1.5 million Gold Coast Classic.
Yet another graduate of the outstanding producing farm of Mill Park at Meningie, Miss With Attitude is the first named foal for the well related Flying Spur mare Sizzie 'em.
A city winner, Sizzie 'em is an Irish bred who is from a Mill Reef sister to French stakes winner Shelina.
A half sister to Miss With Attitude by Swettenham Stud's top winner producing sire Bianconi is heading to the Morphettville sales ring in March.
The bay filly is catalogued as lot number 321 and is one of many stars from the draft of Mill Park - the farm who's other Adelaide sale graduates include Group One winners Divine Madonna, Devil Moon, Undoubtedly and the mighty Mummify.
Another of the impressive winners from the Macdonald stable was the progressive Danehill Dancer filly Dancing Elegance.
A likely prospect for the Group One Australasian Oaks, Dancing Elegance led throughout and held out her rivals for a strong win.
A $100,000 Adelaide Yearling Sale graduate, Dancing Elegance is one of three winners from the beautifully related Kenmare mare Elegant Court.
Kadina's Ducatoon Park will present an attractive half brother to Dancing Elegance at the upcoming Adelaide Sale.
Catalogued as lot 106, the bay colt is by Secret Savings - a leading sire who was sadly lost to the breeding industry in recent weeks.
Also heading to the Adelaide sale is a full brother and three quarter sister to Happy Honey - an impressive winner at Stony Creek in Victoria yesterday as well as a half sister to Allstar - yet another winner at Cheltenham.
