MAGNA GRECIA was owned by Ballydoyle and trained by Aidan O'Brien with 3 wins and 1 second in 6 starts, winning distance at 1400M and 1600M. He made 3 attempts during his 2YO season and headed PHOENIX OF SPAIN to win G1 Futurity Trophy with Donnacha O'Brien on board at Doncaster, then he dashed well to beat favourite stablemate TEN SOVEREIGNS and KING OF CHANGE to conquer 2000 Guineas Stakes under Donnacha O'Brien, but no match to PHOENIX OF SPAIN in Irish 2000 Guineas for 5th and well beaten by KING OF CHANGE in Queen Elizabeth II Stakes with 31Ls difference. The son of INVINCIBLE SPIRIT had been shuttled between Ireland and Australia to commence stud duties and now stands at March Hare Stud UK with 1 listed contest winner. His fee in 2026 is GBP£ 5,500. COPPER CORE was formerly known as MIGHTY APHRODITE that owned by Price Bloodstock Management Ltd that trained by Richard & Chantelle Jolly in Australia with 1 win and 1 second. He led all the way to win on his debut in a 1050M race with shadow roll at Balaklava, then took the lead and hit the front at one stage nut just caught for 2nd in a 1000M race at Morphettville Parks. He joined Ben, Will & JD Hayes’ yard before joining HK ranking. His dam THEATRIC is the broodmare of former HK runner MA COMET and his half-brother won at 1615M. The bay gelding should be fine to handle mile and no issue on soft going.
