Stretan Angel added to Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale
Group 1 performed sprinter Stretan Angel (Harry Angel) has added more star power to May’s Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale with connections confirming she will be offered at the Gold Coast auction.
Having landed a trio of stakes wins and three Group 1 placings, five-year-old Stretan Angel is also a half-sister to this season’s exciting juvenile Stretan Ruler (Wild Ruler) – who ran second in the Todman Stakes (Gr 2, 1200m) on Saturday.
To be offered through the Yarraman Park Stud draft, the Phillip Stokes-trained Stretan Angel is sure to be among the most admired breeding prospects to be offered in 2026.
“She’s always oozed class since the day she came back from the breakers,” Stokes’ assistant Tommy Stokes said. “We knew she had a good brain on her.
“As you can see from her time as a two-year-old, we contested great races straight away with her. She showed right from the start she was a high class racehorse.
“Although she hasn’t won a Group 1 she’s always been in the mix with the top-level elite sprinters during her whole career – she’s a consistent mare with an outcross.”
Another quality offering for the Yarraman Park Stud draft is the well-related stakes winner Gala Queen (Deep Field).
The Morphettville Guineas (Listed, 1600m)-winning daughter of Deep Field (Northern Meteor) is a half-sister to the Triscay Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) and Magic Millions Cup (RL, 1400m) winner Semana (Winning Rupert). Their juvenile half-brother Knightsbridge (Farnan) is a highly regarded juvenile this season for the Waterhouse and Bott stable.
“Yarraman is proud to present an exciting group of race fillies and mares at this year’s Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale, highlighted by Stretan Angel,” Yarraman principal Arthur Mitchell said.
“We’re assembling another strong lineup for this sale, including Gala Queen for the Stokes stable, So Glamorous for Grahame Begg, plus in-foal mares such as Seonee for Joe O’Neill’s Prime Thoroughbreds, Seonee being in foal to Hellbent.”
Entries for the 2026 Magic Millions National Sale are now open and other previously announced highlight lots for the racefillies and mares section include Saturday’s Group 1 winner, New Zealand champion Legarto (Proisir), Australasian Oaks (Gr 1, 2000m) winner Vibrant Sun (The Autumn Sun) and multiple Magic Millions 2YO Classic (RL, 1200m) winner O’ Ole (Ole Kirk).
