| The cream of the Western Australian yearling crop has been assembled for the 2026 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale and the quality packed catalogue is now online. |
| The sale, comprising 358 quality lots, will be staged at the Magic Millions Swan Valley Complex on Thursday 19 February and Friday 20 February. There is an impressive line up of represented stallions – 79 in all. Local champion Playing God leads the way with a strong line of 52 yearlings consigned for 2026. Seven first season sires have stock catalogued – Group One winners Artorius, Paulele, State of Rest and Stronger – as well as the exciting locally based trio Aysar (Deep Field), Lightsaber (Zoustar) and Marine One (Capitalist). During recent weeks across the Pinnacles and Summer Carnival in the West recent stakes winning graduates have included Watch Me Rock, King of Light, Super Smink, Buckets Ridge, Luana Miss, Rope Them In and Toropa. “Western Australian bred gallopers have a proud history of succeeding at the elite level,” Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch noted. “From Perth, across Australia, through Asia and even Royal Ascot, the results speak for themselves.” “Each and every year we present a quality line up of yearlings in the Swan Valley and 2026 will be no different with strong support of the state’s leading thoroughbred breeders.” “The 2026 catalogue is packed of quality and we can’t wait to welcome vendors and buyers alike to the Swan Valley in February,” Bowditch added. Featuring in the catalogue are (at least half) relations to group winners including Bustler, Music Magnate, Portland Sky, Western Empire, A Lot of Good Men, Awesome John, Buster Boom, Comrade Rosa, Ektifaa, Ima Single Man, Super Smink, Swift Witness, Chaillot, Live to Tell, Rocketing By and Siren Assault. There are dozens of lots from stakes winning mares.

The build up to the 2026 sale will hit fever pitch with the massive Magic Millions WA Raceday at Pinjarra Park on Saturday, 14 February – Ladies’ Day and Valentine’s Day wrapped into an event that will really deliver lots of love! “The day will feature $600,000 in prizemoney and Magic Millions Racing Women’s bonuses run exclusively for sale graduates – it’s a real highlight on the WA racing calendar and the perfect way to set up a massive week in the West,” Bowditch reported. “Inspections will start in the Swan Valley on the Sunday and continue through Wednesday before all eyes will be on the sale ring on Thursday and Friday (February 19 and 20).” “So many of our clients tell us the Perth Yearling Sale is right up with their favourite auctions across Australasia. With that history of producing quality racehorses and the enjoyment they have in the West – it’s a combination hard not to love!” “As the locals say – West is Best – and it’s fitting,” Bowditch added. “If you haven’t been to a Perth Yearling Sale before – lock it in in 2026.” To view the catalogue for the 2026 Magic Millions Perth Yearling Sale click here.
