Horse Overview

It’s not often an opportunity like this arises, but when this filly was passed in at the Inglis Premier Sales, we couldn’t wait to present an offer to the vendor. Magna Grecia was a Group-One Winner in his two and three-year-old seasons, including a runaway victory in the 2,000 Guineas over a mile, defeating a quality field bursting with Group-One Winners. Out of Cabaret, a Group-winning 2YO by Galileo, Magna Grecia is half-brother to World Champion 3YO St Mark’s Basilica, a five-time Group-One Winner in Europe. By the same sire as Champion Australian Sire I Am Invincible, whose current female progeny includes Imperatriz and In Secret, Magna Grecia is striking at better than 20% winners to runners early in his breeding career.

Her dam, Just As Soon, is a four-time winner out of Monsoon Wedding, a mare by the mighty Monsun, a four-time Champion German Sire. Monsoon Wedding has five foals to race, four of them winners, boasting an excellent strike rate. This filly is Just As Soon’s first foal, possessing has the attributes to be up and racing early.
