WITH the recent strong demand for well-performed mares in the sale ring, one wonders what Magic Of Light would realise were she to be offered at auction? The seven-year-old daughter of Flemensfirth (Alleged) added the Listed TBA Mares’ Novices’ Chase at Newbury to a prior victory in the Grade 2 Glencarrig Lady Mares Chase at Punchestown, while she has also placed in a number of graded races over hurdles and fences.

She is certainly worth a lot more than the £75,000 Stroud Coleman bloodstock agency gave for her at the 2017 Goffs UK Spring Horses In Training Sale, and this was a sizeable profit on the €20,000 she originally brought when Steve Kemble bought her for at the 2015 Goffs Land Rover Sale.
