Magnier (above) is one of the most famous names in
global breeding circles and there is a Magnus 3YO with the same name, poised to
carve a niche of his own, following a stirring win at Ballarat yesterday.
Bred and part-owned by Robert Crabtree (who
also bred and owned his sire), Magnier jumped straight to the lead and powered
to the line to score as an odds on favourite should.
Magnier – out of the Zabeel mare Zergo –
has now won two from four and is well placed to make his mark during the spring
carnival and beyond: certainly a tilt at stakes glory is in the offing.
Magnus, meanwhile, remains very popular
with broodmare owners, particularly after capturing the Victorian First Season
Sires’ title in 2011/12 and boasting a superior stakes horses to runners ratio
among peers.
Furthermore, it appears that Magnier won’t
be taking on the spring alone with a couple of encouraging trial performances
by Magnus progeny in the past week.
