2024 yearlings: Harry Angel's sought after stock return to the Gold Coast

Darley's World Champion Sprinter Harry Angel whose Timeform rating (132) still surpasses all six past Everest winners, will once again be represented with a high-quality group of yearlings at the Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale.

With the likes of Stakes-winning juvenile and G1-winning three-year-old Tom Kitten, G1-placed dual Stakes winner Arkansaw Kid and G2 winner Stretan Angel among the ranks of his first-crop alumni, it is worth delving into the pedigrees of his Magic Millions “class of 2024”.
