Hurtle Myrtle (Aus) (Dane Shadow {Aus}), who registered a career-best in the G1 Myer Classic at Flemington last October, realized a final bid of A$1 million ($990,000) to top Tuesday's final select session of the Magic Millions National Broodmare Sale at the Gold Coast complex. An A$55,000 yearling purchase, Hurtle Myrtle also won the G2 Sapphire S. at Randwick and the G2 Dane Ripper S. at Eagle Farm in 2011. Consigned to the sale by Kitchwin Hills, which also offered her as a yearling, the 5-year-old mare was purchased by former top trainer and now leading bloodstock agent Bill Mitchell on behalf of the Maloney Family's Segenhoe Stud. "She's an outstanding-looking mare who has loads of ability and we purchased her as a racing and breeding prospect," Mitchell said. "We'll see what she tells us as to whether she races on. We'd be happy to race her on for another season like we've done with Sister Madly (Aus) [who topped last year's sale at $1 million]. We picked out about four or so high class mares and decided she was the one we'd try to buy, and we're delighted to have been able to get her," he added. Through two days of selling, nearly A$20 million has been traded for an average of A$66,406, a 38% bump over last year.
