Incredible value buy on Day 1 by European superstar St Marks Basilica the Group 1 winning son of champion sire Siyouni.

Incredible value buy from the 2025 Magic Millions Yearling Sale by European superstar St Marks Basilica, the Group 1 winning son of champion sire Siyouni.

This gorgeous filly is out of a winning So You Think mare (broodmare sire of Golden Slipper winner Fireburn) from the Stakes winning American mare ORCHESTRATOR.  She brings an international pedigree that melts the hearts of TeamFIRST.

The filly was an absolute standout on type earning the team’s highest score with a massive walk, strong hindquarter, deep girth and the best attitude. She will be a delight to train for Australia's leading trainer Ciaron Maher and hopefully a thrill to own.
