GOLD COAST YEARLING SALE
The nice ones are very, very strong and where this sale is really good is the middle is very strong - $200,000 to $500,000 - and it just shows the quality of horses that are here. Wayne Hawkes
It’s an outstanding sale and she was a magnificent filly, a real queen. When the horse went in the ring, there were bids everywhere, so to get that result was fantastic for everybody. Duncan Grimley after selling lot 434 Written Tycoon-Karuta Queen filly for $1,500,000.
I think a lot of the trainers and (owners) have targeted this sale more than they have in the past. Everyone targets this sale, but they have even more so this year. There were also more syndicates put together, more trainers and groups together. John Foote.

Harry Mitchell, Yarraman Park Stud.
GOLD COAST YEARLING SALE
I’m just delighted with the way that the Yarraman horses have looked, sold and presented. 100% clearance rate and we’ve had the best average. Thrilled to bits with it all.
We were confident he’d sell well given he had 16 different x-ray hits and on Tuesday he was paraded 44 times which is a Willow Park day record spanning back 20 years. Glenn Burrows of Willow Park Stud on selling Lot 287 Vancouver-Exclusive Lass colt.
The top end has just got stronger and stronger. It was a great sale. Obviously the clearance rate was great and it’s just gone from strength to strength. Obviously this is the benchmark sale - it sets the benchmark for everyone. Basil Nolan, President of the Thoroughbred Breeders Australia and Principal at Raheen Stud.
“To be honest we didn’t expect the result we’ve got, it’s been a phenomenal result!”

GOLD COAST YEARLING SALE
The buying bench, (specifically) the diversity of the buying bench here just backs up year after year. From your $100,000 right up to the top lots, there are plenty of people here participating. Mike Fleming of Bhima Thoroughbreds.
We’ve had a marvellous sale. We thank Magic Millions for putting us in the sale – giving us the opportunity to show our wares. We’re just a little farm trying to take it on with the big boys and we’re having a decent crack! We’re really happy. Mark Dunkley of KBL Thoroughbreds.
To double-smash sales records in 24 hours has been super exciting for the whole family, the farm, the staff and our clients. Jo Griffin, Lime Country.
To be honest we didn’t expect the result we’ve got, it’s been a phenomenal result! To go close to topping the sale on day 3 is really special. The boss (Bruce Neill) is ecstatic, great results, to sell a $1.8m colt is hard to describe. Even our middle of the road horses sold well, anyone would be hard pressed, at this sale, to say they haven’t done well; everyone’s had good results. We had the right stock and the buying bench was there. Wayne Bedggood from Cressfield Stud on their sale and top result selling the Exceed and Excel-Platelet colt to Hawkes Racing for $1,800,000.

PERTH YEARLING SALE
Perth Magic Millions 2020 was outstanding. Quality of horses was great and the hospitality put on was awesome. Great new complex and we came home with two really nice horses. Thanks to all involved in the Wild Wild West! Lloyd Kennewell
It’s been a really fantastic sale and not just for us, but for the whole WA industry in general. Gray Williamson of Mungrup Stud who grossed $1,825,500 for 26 lots
The gross out of this will be up significantly on last year, the clearance rate will be strong, so the vendors will be really happy with the outcome here. I think we have stepped up a bit, which is great. Colin Brown of Mogumber Park who cleared 88%.
When you look at all these ladies that are involved, this has just brought another aspect (in racing) out for them. They’re all so excited and we’ve created another dynasty of people involved. Steve Wolfe on the Magic Millions Racing Women’s Bonus after Watch Me Dance won the Magic Millions WA 2YO Classic plus the Magic Millions Racing Women’s WA Bonus.

Matthew Brown
An enjoyable few days, we always find a nice horse or two.
TASMANIAN YEARLING SALE
They look after you down here, so we are happy to come back and hopefully we can find another couple of nice ones out of here.
Simon Zahra of Ellerton Zahra Racing
Great hospitality and nice horses that win races! Gordon Richards, trainer of Bold Star.
Horses like Palentino and Mongolian Khan and now Mystic Journey, it’s those ones which make people think Tassie can produce a good one. We’ve had three Group 1 winners over the past four years with one per cent of the broodmare population, that’s not bad. Graeme McCulloch, Grenville Stud

ADELAIDE YEARLING SALE
The inspections have been very, very good. I don’t think we’ve seen a buying bench so strong in Adelaide judging by the people on the grounds. David Toole, Kambula Stud
In recent years we’ve very much taken note of the fact that you can get very good money in Adelaide. If you bring a quality horse to Adelaide the rewards are there and the buyers are there to support it. We’re very much going to target the sale in the coming years with top quality horses. James Ferguson, Bell River Thoroughbreds
It’s just fantastic, it’s absolutely brilliant. It definitely exceeded our expectations and we are thrilled to bits; he spent more time out of his box than in it over the past few days. Kerrie van Tijn, Squillani Park on selling the top lot of day one.
I wish I had been coming here a lot earlier. Ian Smith, Edinburgh Park

GOLD COAST MARCH YEARLING SALE
David Vandyke after purchasing the Sebring-Tina Melina filly.
They can win nearly $80,000 on a Saturday which is just fantastic prize-money, and the good ones like her don’t come cheaply, we had to beat Tony Gollan, Rob Heathcote, First Light Racing and Greg Eurell - they were all on that filly, so we went a bit further than what we thought she’d be worth, but for a good QTIS filly, we’re happy to have her.
GOLD COAST MARCH YEARLING SALE
The possibilities for the return on a Magic Millions QTIS filly is greater than almost any other sale because QTIS is an amazing scheme…especially for a filly. On top of that, we have got the Magic MIllions races!
Grant Morgan on the competition and the incentives that inspired him to dig deeper.
She was the right product and we had confidence that we would be able to achieve a result and it’s definitely gone above what we were hoping for. Magics have done a great job to get the sale conducted in these conditions and made sure the buyers were here. I know there were a couple of guys on the phone to agents on her when she was going through the ring so it’s all worked out really well. Joe Heather, River Junction – vendor of the Pride of Dubai/Fiery Dee filly.
“...it’s definitely gone above what we were hoping for.”
