We&rsquo;re excited to secure this lightly raced 3YO gelding by Contributor, who impressed flashing home from near last to finish 4th first-up over 1400m in Saturday grade at Ellerslie, New Zealand. (watch the replay below - black colours, white nose roll).
Second-up, he again contested an unsuitable 1400m trip and was caught in the inferior ground - yet still ran the 2nd fastest last 200m of the race, highlighting his natural ability and late turn of foot.
Still raw and learning his craft, he&rsquo;s a horse with plenty of improvement to come - and we can&rsquo;t wait to develop him further at Angaston Park.
We see him as a high-end metropolitan grade miler/stayer over the next 2-4 seasons.

Here&rsquo;s your opportunity to join us in the ownership of our latest New Zealand import &ndash; the ultra-consistent 4-year-old Bettors Delight mare, Narobi.
With Bettors Delight race mares becoming increasingly difficult to source, Narobi represents excellent value both on the track and as a future broodmare.
She boasts sharp point-to-point speed, showcased in her April win where she ran a leader-to-leader last split of 28.3, coming wide on the final bend from worse than midfield on a tight track.
Narobi arrives in Australia on a very attractive mark of NR56, and if you need another reason to get involved - she&rsquo;s&nbsp;bred in the blue, giving her strong residual broodmare value once her racing days are done.
She&rsquo;ll be trained locally with our team in Adelaide, taking full advantage of the NR rating system and Local Concession rule, eligible to race as a NR43.

<div class="horse-text mt-6 css-0">ABR has purchased&nbsp;Lot 414 - Lucky Vega x Just Like Fire, Colt&nbsp;at the&nbsp;2025 Adelaide Magic Millions Yearling Sale. 
&lsquo;Our equal top pick of the sale, his physical presence speaks for itself&rsquo;
As a stable we are often asked what we are seeking to buy at the sales, sprinters, milers, early types, and the answer from the trainer is the same&hellip; &lsquo;we buy the horse in front of us&rsquo;.&nbsp;&nbsp; There could not be a better example than this impressive chestnut colt by&nbsp; Lucky Vega out of the former West Australian mare Just Like Fire.&nbsp; If you watch his parade several times, it is hard not to be convinced that this is a horse that will make the grade at the top level.&nbsp;
Watching his yearling parade, you can&rsquo;t help but be impressed with his size, depth of girth and muscle even as a juvenile. Coupled with a self-assurance and lovely temperament that is visible as he walks out, we were taken with this colt from the early pre-parades and were determined that he come back to Angaston Park.
Lucky Vega, a trainer&rsquo;s sire that they keep going back for again and again, from the proven Yulong stud.&nbsp; He adds a mix of intrigue to the pedigree page providing a fresh bloodline as a Group 1 winning Northern Hemisphere 2-year-old. &nbsp;His racing career had stallion qualities featuring throughout. At two he left future European Champion St Mark&rsquo;s Basilica in his wake in the Group 1 Phoenix, that horse also starting to be a sought after sire this season.&nbsp; Notably previous winners of the same race have been super sires Johannesburg and Danehill Dancer.&nbsp; Lucky Vega&rsquo;s first crop to race in 2024 has already produced the exciting Within the Law, winner of the Group 2 Sweet Embrace and 2nd&nbsp;in the Group 1 Champagne Stakes.
Just Like Fire was a stakes performed West Australian mare who was a three time winner.&nbsp; Careful study of her racing career highlights notable placings in both the WATC Guineas and the WATC Oaks, but multiple top four finishes in other Group and Listed races, including against the colts in the WATC Derby.&nbsp; These broodmares provide tremendous value.&nbsp; Had they had some luck and managed to win one of these black type features they instantly substantially increase in value.&nbsp; From our perspective as a buyer, they give us confidence that we can buy into these type of families that can mix it with the best at a fraction of the price.
Despite the value, this colt was still one of the highest priced lots of the sale and it&rsquo;s easy to see why.&nbsp; Don&rsquo;t miss your chance to be involved.
Purchase Price: $110,000 For more details or to secure your share, please reach out to Kristy at 0473 479 446 or Nathan at 0435 116 284.&nbsp; <a href="https://sales.aaronbainracing.com.au/eoi-form?recordId=recbBRJNw8aHKkU5T" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Click here to request a call.&nbsp;</a></div>

Lucky Vega x Just Like Fire '23 Colt

Unraced

ABR has secured&nbsp;Lot 207 D'Argento x Where It Began Filly&nbsp;at the&nbsp;2025 Adelaide Magic Millions Yearling Sale. 
&lsquo;A strong and well sized filly with depth of pedigree and a precocious attitude&rsquo;
There is plenty of quality and a lot to like about this bay filly by the So You Think stallion, D&rsquo;Argento.&nbsp; We have one in the stables from the Gold Coast who is impressing us in his second preparation, so were delighted to secure another at a great price from Adelaide.&nbsp;
A lovely blend of Danehill bloodlines with the addition of the High Chaparral influence through the Sadler&rsquo;s Wells line.&nbsp;
D&rsquo;Argento, a flashy grey who excelled in middle distance. Himself a dual winner at 2, this gives every confidence you won&rsquo;t need to wait too long for this filly to hit the track.&nbsp; He is one of 11 individual G1 winners for his sire So You Think. &nbsp;; particularly excelled as a 3-year-old, winning two features including the Group 1 Rosehill Guineas and defeating a quality field of four Group 1 winners. &nbsp;Whilst his wins were impressive, his placings were equally as notable, including a 3rd&nbsp;behind the legendary Winx in the G1 Winx Stakes and a 2nd&nbsp;to Hartnell in the Epsom Handicap.&nbsp; D&rsquo;Argento also ran a tremendous 4th&nbsp;in a Doncaster as a 3-year-old when dropping back in distance after his Rosehill Guineas triumph.&nbsp; Out of a listed winning mare in Fullazz who has a perfect record of winners to runners is a &frac34; winner to a dual stakes winner in Diamonds.
The dam, Where It Began was a winner herself over the short course and boasts a perfect record of 4 to race, 4 to win. &nbsp;Best credentialled to date is Beast Mode, a 6-time winner including 3 in succession. Interestingly, this is her first foal from a new sire, with all of her previous progeny being sired by Better Than Ready (by More than Ready) so intriguing to see the success of the new coupling. The 2nd&nbsp;and 3rd&nbsp;dam had an excellent record of winners to runners and their progeny have had plenty of winners and black type success both domestic and internationally. There is depth in this pedigree.
A filly with size, strength and poise who will head to the breakers early with potential for strong residual value.

D'Argento x Where It Began '23 Filly

'We were thrilled to secure this colt, a magnificent type we just had to have in the stables' - Aaron Bain
Sired by one of Written Tycoon's fastest sons in&nbsp;Dirty&nbsp;Work, is this striking Bay colt out of Saxy Grace.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Dirty&nbsp;Work was a prolific last to first winner of the Schillaci Stakes, a race whose honor roll includes champion sprinters of the likes of Black Caviar, Miss Andretti and Buffering.&nbsp; He was a stunning individual who was always earmarked for the breeding barn, his sales figures are impressive for his service fee. His yearlings are selling up to $260,000 and averaging $160,000 at the Gold Coast Magic Millions, testament to the types he is siring.
Saxy Grace was a winner of 6 races and over $240,000 in prize money.&nbsp; This is her third living foal with and the two to race are already winners, including two-time winner Omerta Grace.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The 2nd&nbsp;dam Run Ronnie Run also has an excellent strike rate of runners to winners, with 5 out of 6 to race being successful.&nbsp; She is notably a half to&nbsp;Mr Moet, the WA multiple&nbsp;group winner who enigmatically took out the Railway Stakes and accumulated over $1.6 million in prizemoney.
The breeder has elected to retain a share in the striking colt and it's easy to see why.&nbsp; &nbsp;
'He was one we targeted from the first inspection and we can't wait to get him back to Angaston Park'
