Justify x Port Augusta

2024 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale Purchase

We thrilled to share an exciting development from KO Thoroughbred Racing. At the Magic Millions January Sale held at the Gold Coast, we have proudly
acquired Lot 49, a powerful colt by the superstar Group 1 winning stallion ‘Justify’ and out of the royally bred and consistent producing mare ‘Port
Augusta’. Striking early on Day 1 of the sales, this colt provided an exceptional buying opportunity.

By ‘Justify’, the only unbeaten Triple Crown winner EVER. ‘Justify’ raced on six occasions, winning every one of them by a combined 24 lengths
including the Gr.1 Kentucky Derby, Gr.1 Preakness Stakes & Gr.1 Belmont Stakes. Locally, ‘Justify’ was the leading first season sire in 2022-2023.
His progeny include the ultra impressive ‘Learning to Fly’ who won the Gr.2 Reisling Stakes, Gr.3 Widden Stakes & Listed Inglis Millennium
(R) for Annabel Neasham. ‘Justify’ has most recently produced the UNBEATEN Group 3 B.J. McLachlan Stakes and 2024 Magic Millions 2 Year
Old Classic winner ‘Storm Boy’. ’Storm Boy’ is now subject to a $50M purchase offer by Coolmore Stud, who stand ‘Justify’. In the Northern
Hemisphere, ‘Justify’ has produced 6 individual Group 1 winners including ‘Arabian Lion’ and ‘City of Troy’.

Out of ’Port Augusta’, a beautifully bred mare by Encosta De Lago who is a 1/2 sister to Champion Sire ‘Holy Roman Emperor’ and multiple stakes
winner Millanova. ’Port Augusta’s’ yearlings have always been the pick of catalogues with her 1/2 sister commanding $1,000,000 at the Inglis Easter
Yearling Sale along with other high-priced progeny fetching $600,000 & $500,000.

On pedigree, with only two mares on the catalogue page, this colt has a real stallions pedigree and could be a sire in the waiting. He is physically
imposing thoroughbred, yet well balanced and was a favourite amongst the draft of Coolmore yearlings at the sales. Post-purchase, this colt has been
transported from the Gold Coast and will enjoy a two-week respite in an open-air paddock. This period of rest is essential for his well-being, allowing
him to acclimate before embarking on his transformation from a yearling to a thoroughbred racehorse.

Under the expert guidance of Chris Munce, a renowned Group 1 winning ex-jockey and now a celebrated Group 1 trainer, he will commence his training
at Eagle Farm. To ensure his utmost fitness and potential, comprehensive pre-purchase evaluations including veterinary examinations, endoscopic
evaluations, and radiographic screenings were conducted. His pedigree and potential have been highly commended by Arthur Hoyeau, a distinguished
professional bloodstock agent from Winfield Bloodstock Agents in France, marking him as an exceptional investment.

We are offering a limited number of syndication shares for this promising colt. Shares are available from $11,111 with each share including the following:
