Anamoe leads the charge at the Magic Millions National Weanling Sale

Ciaron Maher secures $360,000 filly by nine-time G1 winner

Anamoe confirmed his status as a standout first-season sire at the 2024 Magic Millions National Weanling Sale, posting a sale-topping average of $265,000 across six weanlings sold.

His progeny attracted strong interest from some of the most respected names in the industry, with fierce competition underscoring his growing commercial appeal.

Among the standout results:

  • $360,000 – filly out of Kiki Express
  • $300,000 – filly out of Secret Doubt
  • $280,000 – colt out of Strike Swiftly
  • $270,000 – colt out of Starry
  • $200,000 – filly out of Inthemidstofbiz
  • $180,000 – colt out of I Am Speedy

The top-priced filly was secured by leading trainer Ciaron Maher through bloodstock agent Will Bourne.

“There’s a bit of hype around the stallion, and Ciaron loved him as a racehorse - he actually sent mares to him before he even had foals,” Bourne told The Straight.

“I mentioned to Ciaron that there was a very nice Anamoe filly here at Magic Millions, and he said, ‘go ahead and buy her.’ He’s got a lot of belief in the stallion.”

It’s a powerful endorsement for the nine-time G1 winner, whose brilliance on the track is now translating to elite-level demand in the sales ring.
