MAGIC MILLIONS
28 Ascot Court
PO Box 5246
Finance & Administration Departments Magic Millions conducted its first sale in 1986, with a modest catalogue of 220 horses but in the past two decades has grown to such an extent that it now rivals Inglis as Australasia’s premier bloodstock company. From that inaugural sale, four graduates would qualify for the following year’s Golden Slipper field, including multiple Group 1 winner and future outstanding sire, Snippets. It is a pattern that has continued with a string of Group 1 winning graduates now the norm for MM graduates. Magic Millions holds its showpiece yearling sale on Queensland’s beautiful Gold Coast every January. In addition to being a great place to find a future champion, there is simply no better place to be in January than the Gold Coast and this has become one of Australia’s great racing carnivals and tourist events. Magic Millions have expanded its operations and now hold sales in Adelaide (whose graduates include international Group 1 winner Mummify), Perth, and Tasmania. The Gold Coast is also home to the Magic Millions National Sale, which has become one of largest bloodstock sales in the Southern Hemisphere.
