It's one of those very special mornings here at Clare Downs, and we are all a buzz! ❤️✨️

The long anticipated arrival of a very very special little man, that took some serious planning - has finally happened! An enormous thank you to everyone who made this possible!

We wish to welcome this cracking c**t out of our own born and bred littly lady Clare Downs Clonlea, by the phenomenal French Stallion Meingold Mystical Thunderbird - we couldn't be happier!

To be retained by the stud ❤️

Our beautiful first Sweet Gold x Snippetson filly had a grand entrance to the world this morning, greeted by some new adoring fans!

My husband Norm and 2 of his close friends lease our homebred Sax On Que from the stud - such an honest horse kind horse has been a bridesmaid since his last win by a whisker and a couple of 3rds and became a bride again today - Smiles all round! Thank you to Paul and his team and Holly for bringing him home.

So great to get a winner with one of our stable favourites Sax on Que today at Mount Barker, thanks to his loyal owners and jockey Holly Watson. Also very proud of Scream in Blue who ran a huge second in the Mount Barker cup coming from last on the corner. Big thanks to the girls at home who do all the work 🐎

All in all a very successful 2022 Perth Magic Millions Sale, with Lot 309 and our last lot for this years sale, our beautiful filly, going to Robyn Lockwood to start her new career. We are very pleased with the outcome and the homes for this years sale and look forward to watching as they both progress through this next phase of their lives!

A huge thank you to all who have made this years sales possible and for all who helped; with a special mention to TJ who has been an invaluable and integral part of their preparation, and to Isobel who has worked tirelessly throughout the entirety of their sales week.

From all of us here at Clare Downs, a big thank you to all the buyers, agents, MM, vets, and staff for another successful season. Now bring on the next seasons crop of cracking youngsters!

Fantastic result for Clare Downs from day one of the 2022 Magic Millions Premier Sale in Perth, with lot 33 going to Durrant Racing. We couldn't be happier that he is off to a great stable, one we know will give him the absolute best chance to meet his potential!

** LOT 33 MAGIC MILLIONS PERTH **

We have added this balanced c**t to our stable and we are very happy to secure him as we have the half sister at home that goes very well. It’s a very strong black type family and hopefully this bloke adds to that in the future!

As the 2021 Magic Millions Yearling sales draws to a close we'd like to thank all those that took the time to view the draft, the buyers and of course our amazing team who have worked hard over the last few months and especially this week. We look forward to seeing what this year's yearlings can achieve on the track in the future 😊
