BC3 set for Australian sale debut on Gold Coast 24 Oct 2008
Magic Millions

The excitement is building for the team from BC3 Australia - who make their Australian sales debut at next week's Magic Millions National Horses in Training Sale at the Gold Coast.

And as if scripted, a number of their horses from their quality packed draft have been the subject of important updates on the eve of Australia's premier breeze up style sale.
BC3 Australia, formed by proven American pin hookers John Brocklebank and Shane Chipman, has an exceptional draft heading to the sale.

Among them is a full sister to last Saturday's brilliant Adelaide winner Falvelon's Dream - a talented sprinter who is running again tomorrow and is expected to be hard to beat.
Another of the draft - the Iglesia youngster Fast Lover - looks a ready made racehorse and ran third at Eagle Farm on October 11 after winning a trial at the same track a few days earlier.

Five horses from the BC3 Australia draft have been seen at the official trials in either Sydney or Brisbane and three of them are trial winners.

Aaron Corby, the general manager of BC3 Australia, says the men behind his team are proven at the elite level in finding, educating and selling prospective racetrack stars in the Northern Hemipshere.

"Of recent years BC Thoroughbred horses in training graduates in the United States include the Group One winners Brother Derek, Reraise and River's Prayer and Group Three winner Cover Gal," Corby said.

"All BC3 Australia horses are for sale and our charter ensures that none are held back unless a horse proves itself not up to our high standards."

"BC3 Australia stands behind its product and our success comes from the success of the owners and trainers who support our sales drafts."

"We buy a specific type of horse that will suit both our operation and our buyers. Quality is never compromised."

"All BC3 Australia's horses are equipped with education and training to become a racehorse. Right through to barrier work, these horses are ready to be purchased one week and race the next," Corby summed up.

Corby said Brocklebank and the rest of the team were busy in 2008 buying a number of breeze up prospects at a selection of Magic Millions Yearling Sales.

Among them are youngsters by sires including Red Ransom, Fastnet Rock, Sequalo, Danewin, More Than Ready, Anabaa, Charge Forward, Elusive Quality, Falvelon, Tiger Hill, Rock of Gibraltar, Iglesia, Elvstroem, Lonhro and Easy Rocking.

The Red Ransom youngster - a two-year-old colt is from the stakes performed Joie - a half sister to the mighty mare Tuesday Joy - who after the catalogue was printed was a stunning group winner at Moonee Valley.

The sale kicks away with two days of breeze ups on Tuesday and Wednesday - followed by the two day sale on Thursday and Friday.
