Magnus is on another roll, producing two
winners (from just two runners) on successive days leading into Easter.
At Sandown on Wednesday, Backstedt showed why
he is such a highly prized member of the powerful David Hayes stable, by
leading throughout over 1600m to notch up his third win from seven starts – and
second win on the trot.
Then, on Thursday, another Magnus 3YO in
Imprimis also led from the front, winning over 1000m at Bendigo.
Magnus has now produced 23 individual
winners in 2012/13 and is just one behind current leader, Casino Prince on the
Australian Second Season Sires’ chart.
Interestingly, both Magnus and Casino
Prince are by the Champion Danehill stallion, Flying Spur, but that’s not the
only ‘tie in’: Magnus is a half brother to the dam of both Black Caviar and
Casino Prince's 3-time Group One winner, All Too Hard.
Magnus will have a three quarter brother
sell at the upcoming Australian Easter Yearling Sale (Lot 319) via the Eliza
Park draft.
