"I can't remember being happy about a 20- percent drop in the past, but given some people were expecting prices to be down anywhere between 50 and 70 percent, I think a 20-percent drop is okay," he said.

New Faces... A positive trend to emerge is activity by new faces on the buying bench, with purchases by individuals from Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Japan, South Africa, New Zealand and the U.S. Shadai Farm's Teruya Yoshida, on his first visit to Magic Millions, gave A$700,000 for a Redoute's Choice filly from G1 Flight S. winner Unearthly (NZ) (Zabeel {NZ}). John Brocklebank's Melbourne-based pinhooking company BC3 Australia signed for two yearlings. The very first horse through the ring, hip 1, a Flying Spur (Aus) colt out of Radio Song (Unbridled=s Song) offered by Brian Marheine=s Stratheden Stud, was knocked down to BC3 for A$210,000, and the same outfit signed for the second last horse through the ring hip 194, a colt by Widden=s popular first season sire Stratum (Aus) out of Whirligig (Aus) (Brief Truce), for A$175,000, a great result off a A$30,250 service fee. Utah native Brocklebank launched BC3 stateside in 2003 before extending to Australia last year, purchas- ing 13 horses at Magic Millions last March and declar- ing the horses were Afirst class@ and the people Aincredi- ble@. "We are sellers and we prepare horses a little differently to what is conventional here," Brocklebank said. "We take an open mind and a very scientific ap- proach. Our belief is to expose the horse to a fair amount of racing stress. There is only one way to pre- pare race density in the bone, that is to expose the horses to that [race conditions]. I would rather have sold to someone a winner than to actually own one," he continued. "Because that is what I do and enjoy. Look I still put on a cheerleading outfit when one of our horses run, because they will always be part our family."

What They=re Saying cont.

AThere is a really nice group of horses here. They always assemble a good catalogue at the Millions and this year is not different. If prices are down you would think there would be some bargains out there. But they are only a bargain if they turn out to be winners," BFlemington trainer Danny O=Brien.

"It looks like the average is down 25 percent. If we can hold that over the next three days, I'd say that is a pretty good result in this climate," --Magic Millions principal Gerry Harvey.

AI picked out three colts at this sale and now I have two of them. The sale is strong given the climate. There is some good value here," B Randwick trainer Gai Waterhouse.

"The global forces are such that everyone would expect a correction. I think in real terms the market could be down 15-20 percent. But the quality is here from what we've seen, so that's going to help every- body,@ B Mark Player, HKJC
