THE millionaire lots kept coming at Tattersalls last week and it was a noted fact that Group 1 winners on the dam side were present in the majority of the top lots. Dank, Cassandra Go, Sky Lantern, Vadawina, Danedream and Attraction were all dams of millionaire lots. They fit the old ‘best to the best’ theory.

But you don’t have to look far to see another side to the coin. As we appoach Breeders’ Cup weekend, images from past years hit our screens. Who knows what the incredible Zenyatta, earner of over $7 million, would have made through a sales ring.
