The 2015 Magic Millions National Sale concluded on Friday with a successful racehorse sale that saw a 97percent of the catalogue sold.

Exciting juvenile Desert Man topped the sale when sold to leading Brisbane trainer Kelly Schweida for $185,000.

Desert Man, a runaway two-year-old winner at the Gold Coast two starts back, was offered by Eliza Park International as part of the Heinrich Bloodstock Unreserved Dispersal Sale.

That dispersal provided all six lots that made $100,000 or more. In total 192 lots were sold for a gross of $3,328,750 and average price of $20,675.

Other leading sellers on the day included Military Miss for $150,000, Real Ambition for $140,000 and Shiraz Attack for $115,000.

The two weeks of the National Sale ended with a gross of over $93.6 million for 1557 lots sold at an average price across all sales of over $60,000.

"It's been a remarkable two weeks of selling," Magic Millions Managing Director Vin Cox noted.

"From day one of the weanlings right through to the Racehorse Sale it has been a great success.

"The National Sale is one of the world's great thoroughbred events and we must thank everyone who played their part during the auction.

"I am proud of our hard working staff who put in long hours to achieve such great results and thanks must go to vendors, their staff and buyers.”
