Armidale Acclaim with Joe O’Neill from Prime Thoroughbreds

Joe, who purchased Zany Girl, Vivilici and Our Long Sali (pictured) from our Magic Millions Tasmanian Yearling Sale draft, says…

“Armidale Stud is an exceptionally good breeder, and I’ve had a lot of success in recent years with the progeny of Needs Further in particular. I’ve spent $187,000 on four of his yearlings over the years, and they’ve gone on to make $540,000 on the track — almost three times their collective purchase price with 16 wins between them, including producing the equal top winning filly from the Sale (Vivilici). More recently, my $65,000 purchase, Zany Girl, dominated in the Listed Elwick Stakes and is currently undefeated in her first three starts as a 2YO. She’s the second of my Needs Further progeny to perform at stakes level, joining Our Long Sali, who was stakes placed on three occasions as a 3YO.”

We’re proud to present another draft packed full of quality at this year’s Magic Millions Tasmanian Yearling Sale. More information can be found here.
