At the conclusion of the sale, Bill Duncan stated
that he considered the inaugural presentation
of yearlings by Couzinz to be an outstanding success.He
said , " It's a pity we started the sale on a
tough note with the Wham Bam colt knocking his
offside front knee three days before coming to
the Gold Coast and, despite lots of inspections,
he was passed in. On the other hand, the Zirascible
filly was always going to attract plenty of attention
and it was pleasing to see that she was the top
selling Honours List yearling for Sessions 5-6
and the second highest priced Honours List sold
at the Magic Millions Sale."He added that the
All Wild colt and Autumn Day filly were judged
by buyers to be up to the standard of the sale
and represented excellent value at around the
Session 5 average of $26,355. He predicted that
the Grand Scenic colt, who was the most precocious
of the draft, would turn out to be an exciting
proposition".
On behalf of Couzinz, Cameron Osborne commented
that the Sale was an exceptional result and the
presentation of the yearlings and their subsequent
sale value was a credit to Couzinz Manager, Ian
Crompton and his staff. He said, "We are particularly
impressed that Doncaster Bloodstock Services purchased
three of our yearlings. Les Young is recognised
Australia wide as the expert in thoroughbred conformation
and for him to select our horses on behalf of
his clients is a real vote of confidence in our
standard of yearling preparation, not to mention
his obvious impression of Honours List as a stallion
".
