What a great start it was for Murrulla Stud’s 2020 Magic Millions draft when exciting filly Princess Bojack made an impressive winning debut at Eagle Farm in October, set aside for a crack at the big race in January. The Flying Artie filly was a great value $50K purchase from Tim and Celie Nolan’s 2020 Magic Millions draft. Tim Nolan commented to Bluebloods. “it’s a great result for the farm, an early 2YO winner, a Magic Millions contender that most buyers could afford. I reckon we have more such likely prospects in our 2021 draft, please come and inspect them. We are committed sellers and we look forward to presenting them.”
