Magic Millions Perth Manager Chris Tidy said the Perth Horses in Training Sale
had quickly established itself as a proven winner producing sale and he is
looking forward to this year’s edition.
The Horses in Training catalogue this year is one of the strongest ever to come
out of Western Australia, Tidy noted of the range of classy entries.
Two two-year-olds by the ill fated Metal Storm are sure to attract plenty of
attention. At February’s record breaking Perth Yearling Sale progeny of Metal
Storm were the subject of fierce bidding.

Belmont from 10am. Selling at the same venue will begin at 1.30pm. Breeze up
programs will be available on the day and those not able to be at the track for
