A TRULY MAGICAL CARNIVAL

Over eighteen days on the Gold Coast in January 2009, the Conrad Jupiters Magic Millions Carnival will boast over 40 events.

The annual Conrad Jupiters Magic Millions carnival has become an Australian icon event that continues to record phenomenal growth, injecting an estimated $90 million-plus into the local economy.

The cream of Australia’s yearlings are paraded before a sale like no other and many of these polished babies will go on to success at racing’s elite level before becoming immensely valuable stallions and broodmares later on.

The innovative sale company annually posts results that are the envy of bloodstock auction houses around the world: last year gross receipts rocketed to $110 million for just on 900 baby racehorses sold at the four-day Premier sale at Bundall.

Everyone is welcome at the sale complex to watch the action with yearling inspections beginning from January 4.

The sale attracts the most powerful buyers from across the globe as well as leading Australian trainers and the catalogue stands on its track record of producing very fine gallopers.

But Magic Millions is much, much more than a horse sale.

It is a uniquely Australian celebration with a diverse range of events to cater for everyone - in fact, with more than 40 associated events, if you’re absolutely terrified of going near a horse, there’s an amazing array of options.

“Magic Millions is so much more than just a horse sale; it has a genuine carnival atmosphere and a wide variety of community events. The corporate Gold Coast sector is right behind us," asserts managing director David Chester.

“It is very satisfying to see our event calendar continue to expand to really get everyone involved.”

John Singleton once described the carnival as “the Melbourne Cup in shorts” and from the moment one arrives at the Gold Coast, the Magic Millions buzz is palpable. The difference, of course, is that Magic Millions is held in one of the world’s most desirable destinations, the weather is likely to be fabulous and because we’re in Queensland, it’s casual and fun.

See you there!
