King of Sparta winning the AUD2million Magic Millions 3YO Guineas
For the second successive year China Horse Club’s livery has been carried to success in the AUD2,000,000 Magic Million 3YO Guineas after King of Sparta produced a devastating sprint to overwhelm his rivals in Australia today.
The lucrative result franked the Club’s aggressive spending at the famed auction ring in recent days and was the trump in another day of highlights at the Magic Millions Race Day. Other notable results included:
- Russian Revolutions first crop daughter 2nd in the AUD2,000,000 Magic Millions 2YO Classic
- Deep Field’s daughter Isotope winning the AUD1,000,000 Magic Millions Snippets
- Partners, Newgate Farm, SF Bloodstock and Stonestreet Stable winning the AUD250,000 Magic Millions Maiden
But it was the performance of King of Sparta, raced in partnership with a big syndicate headed by Yarraman Park Star, that was a deserved highlight. The handsome gelding unleashed a pulverizing kick under jockey Nash Rawiller to pull clear of rivals over the final 100m and put the race to bed. In doing so, the son of I Am Invincible lifted his lifetime earnings to in excess of AUD1.3 million and mirrored the result of Aim a year ago.

“It has been another exceptional week at the Magic Millions topped off by today’s results with King of Sparta and the game performance of Russian Conquest,” said Teo Ah Khing, Chairman of China Horse Club.
“China Horse Club enjoyed record sales as a breeder, we are delighted with the stock we purchased in partnership with Newgate Farm, Trilogy Racing and Starlight and it is very rewarding to see our belief in Russian Revolution being realized in both the sales ring and on the racetrack. He has an exciting future.
“Credit must go to all across our teams at CHC, to those who support us and work with us like The Chase and Sledmere Stud to our partners headed by Newgate Farm.”
