Magic Millions 2YO Classic Final Field and Barrier Draw

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday January 12


This morning’s barrier draw proved eventful with many of the top fancies drawing wide and the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Swift Witness being promoted to equal favouritism with She’s All Class.

Swift Witness is now equal favourite - image Grant Courtney.

The daughter of Star Witness only qualified for Saturday’s $2 million dash with a win on the Gold Coast last Saturday and after drawing barrier 11 she firmed from $4.60 to $4.20 equal favourite with tab.com.au

I Am Invincible is the most represented sire with three runners, but the two most favoured She’s All Class and Fake Love drew barriers 18 and 20, while Written Tycoon colt Finance Tycoon was another to suffer at the barrier draw coming up with gate 21.

The field of 16 plus five emergencies are below.
