WAYS TO A MILLION TARA MADGWICK
A glamorous festival in January showcasing the very best of Queensland to the world, Magic Millions has become an ‘event’, but at its heart is still a horse sale and as such there are many ways in which to win a million. We all know Australia’s Horse of the Year, Winx was bought here in 2013 for $230,000 and has won over $20million in prizemoney, but Winx aside there are many more stories of million dollar dreams coming true.

SHOP WITH CONFIDENCE – Sydney based bloodstock agent James Harron has been the leading buyer at Magic Millions for the past two years looking to build on the success he achieved with a Written Tycoon colt bought from the Gold Coast in 2015 for $165,000. That colt racing as Capitalist, won the Magic Millions 2YO Classic and the Golden Slipper to be crowned Champion 2YO and retired with earnings of $3.5 million. Now standing at Newgate Farm at a fee of $55,000, his first yearlings will be a major Magic Millions drawcard in 2020.
