Mythical Magic

Charlie Appleby's son of Iffraaj impresses on debut at Ascot

Charlie Appleby unleashed a potentially very smart colt on Friday 28 July when Mythical Magic produced a sparkling winning debut at Ascot. The juvenile son of Iffraaj, who holds an entry in the G2 Gimcrack Stakes at York, displayed signs of greeness in the prelimeries but knew his job well in race. Breaking smartly and always at the head of affairs, he quickened well just over a furlong from home to win easily by two-and-a-quarter lengths.

Bred by Peter Kelly and Ms Wendy Daly, Mythical Magic was a 140,000gns foal and is out of the winning Octagonal mare Mythie. He is a half-brother to five winners including G3 Nell Gwyn heroine Esentepe.
