A huge influx of yearlings is Rockhampton bound after an estimated 22 were purchased with that intent at the Gold Coast on Monday.
This represents a record in that arena from the first session on Monday’s Magic Millions March QTIS Yearling Sale.
Some $691,500 was outplayed for them when 160 yearlings sold for a gross of $7.45 million.
This brought about a grand first days result with a record average of $47,175.
In a bold expression of his confidence in Rockhampton racing, Gracemere’s Colin Bell topped the CQ brigade with a $105,000 buy.

Rockhampton trainer Clinton Taylor built on the armoury of his stable of promising horses when debutant Attackabeel blew the field away at Rockhamptonâs Callaghan Park races last Saturday.
Attackabeel (b f 2 Counterattack-Tia (NZ) x Savabeel) lay in ambush in third placing coming into the straight before Justin Stanley fired her up to claim the leaders and win by 2.5 lengths.
Ahooshu (Nathan Day, $20.00) ran well for second, with another long shot in Chesterâs Angel (Dan McGillivray, $41.00) a length away in third placing.
