Welcome
Katie Page-Harvey, Gerry Harvey & Barry Bowditch
The past year has yielded unimaginable economic and health challenges across business and the community. As a member of the thoroughbred breeding and racing family, we are honoured to be part of an industry that has continued to operate through adversity because of the dedication of each and every participant for the game we all love, and the thoroughbreds we all adore.
More than ever before, we are incredibly grateful and excited to have the opportunity to invite you to join us on the Gold Coast this January as we present the preeminent equine athletes in the sales ring and on the racetrack.
Join us from 6 January for the commencement of inspections for the 2021 edition of the Gold Coast Yearling Sale. With 1273 yearlings catalogued in Books 1 and 2, for the first time the sale will run across seven consecutive days.
KATIE PAGE-HARVEY, GERRY HARVEY
The Gold Coast Yearling Sale is the auction source of the most precocious and prodigious racetrack performers.
From Golden Slipper winners (eleven of them), to classic winners, to global sprint stars, each edition of the Gold Coast Yearling Sale produces a life changing result and the next generation of commercial stallions. The 2021 catalogue delivers an unprecedented selection of outstanding Australian and New Zealand bred yearlings.
The $10.25m The Star Gold Coast Magic Millions Raceday on Saturday 16 January will provide one of the feature days on the Australian racing calendar. With seven of nine races worth $1m or more in prizemoney highlighted by the $2m The Star Gold Coast Magic Millions 2YO Classic and the $2m Gold Coast Magic Millions 3YO Guineas, plus $750,000 in Racing Women’s Bonuses, getting involved is a dream that an owner at any level of investment can legitimately have.
