| Success on the racetrack comes to those who
plan for it. It's not something that can be taken for granted
or expected. Everyone loves winning and the innovative Australian
thoroughbred sales company Magic Millions are proud of their
recent success. And rightly so.
For the last few seasons combined Magic Millions have had
the pleasure of selling more Group One winners and more high
class racehorses than others in the thoroughbred sales field.
The high class product available at Magic Millions' auctions
around the country - from the Gold Coast to Adelaide and Launceston
to Perth - is the reason for this great run of success. And
with a winning formula of selecting those yearlings who look
destined for success, set in place at Magic Millions, buyers
at next year's auctions have plenty to look forward to.
Magic Millions prides itself on providing a quality product
at a value cost. Unlike other auctions, you aren't usually
asked to part with millions of dollars for a yearling - often
it’s significantly less.
Everyone loves a win. Everyone strives for a Group One. And everyone dreams of a Golden Slipper. If you too are dreaming of winning the world's richest juvenile race you better make sure you're at the Magic Millions Yearling Sale.
Seven of the last ten winners of the Golden Slipper are Magic Millions purchases. Phelan Ready (2009), Sebring (2008), Stratum (2005), Dance Hero (2004), Polar Success (2003), Ha Ha (2001) and Belle du Jour (2000) were all knocked down to their owners on the Gold Coast. The 2002 winner Calaway Gal, was a homebred, and the 2007 and 2006 winners were sold by another sales company.
David Chester, Managing Director Magic Millions, says his
company works tirelessly to assemble the best possible catalogues
for each of their sales – whether it be on the Gold
Coast in January, Perth in February or Adelaide in March –
three of the country’s top sales.
“While a lot of sales concentrate purely
on pedigrees, Magic Millions look for the right balance –
we don’t just want a horse with a sexy pedigree page
– we want one that’s athletic and one which we
feel will prove their worth as a racehorse,” Chester
comments.

| “This strategy adopted by Magic Millions is obviously
working the way we wanted it to. For three of the past four
seasons we’ve topped the sales company list for Group
One winners and stakes winners,” he added.
Buyers on the lookout for a quick return on their investment
should look no further than Magic Millions.
Often the winner of the Magic Millions feature 2YO Classic
race, will go on to win feature Group One races throughout
their two, three and four-year-old racing seasons. Dance Hero
is the perfect example of the horse Magic Millions prides
itself on presenting in their outstanding catalogues. A precocious
and athletic horse who became Australia’s Champion 2
& 3YO.
“Many buyers continually tell us they can buy with
confidence at our sales,” Chester said. “And when
you cast your eyes over the results of the past couple of
seasons you can see why they can be so confident.”
Those intending to buy at future sales conducted by Magic
Millions will also be able to exhibit similar lines on confidence.
“We have no intentions of resting and becoming complacent,”
Chester added. “We plan to continue to further boost
our sales – so they are bigger and better and most importantly
being more successful for buyers by producing more stakes
winners, more Group One winners and more champions.”
Buyers of yearlings with Magic Millions can now qualify their
youngster to be a part of a $4 million (plus) annual series
of races around the country. The entire Magic Millions raceday
programme on the Gold Coast is now closed to eligible MM graduates.
There's also races in Adelaide, Toowoomba, Perth, Tasmania
and Wyong.
After all who wouldn’t want to have their own Dance
Hero, Private Steer, Mahogany, Belle du Jour, Subzero, General
Nediym, Defier, Lovely Jubly, Regimental Gal, Mummify, Dash
for Cash, Assertive Lad or Ha Ha?
