Today's online release of the catalogue confirms over 400 yearlings set to go under the hammer on May 30 and 31.

The most in form sires from across the country are among 111 individual stallions represented by their progeny in the two day auction – among the youngsters are 22 by freshman sires.

All Too Hard has 21 entries, 15 of them to be offered by Baramul Stud.

Sires represented in the 2023 catalogue include All Too Hard, Better Than Ready, Brave Smash, Capitalist, Deep Field, Dundeel, Exceed and Excel, Extreme Choice, I Am Invincible, Pierro, Pride of Dubai, Russian Revolution, Snitzel, So You Think, Spirit of Boom, Star Turn, Tarzino, The Autumn Sun, Toronado, Trapeze Artist, Written Tycoon, Yes Yes Yes, Zousain and Zoustar. 

Further emphasising the quality on offer - no fewer than 112 lots in the sale are from stakes performed or stakes producing dams.

There has never been a better time to invest in a Magic Millions yearling with the announcement earlier this year of huge enhancements and prizemoney increases to the Magic Millions Race Series.

The race series comprises a suite of graduate races held across six states of Australia with well in excess of $18m in prizemoney over 26 races in the 2023/24 racing season, followed by more than $20m across 28 races in 2024/25.

Some 286 lots catalogued are BOBS eligible, while QTIS, Super VOBIS, VOBIS Sires, Racing Rewards SA and Westspeed are among the other incentive schemes represented.

"This sale has produced winners of such races as the Golden Slipper, Dubai Golden Shaheen, Australian Oaks, CF Orr Stakes, Kelt Capital Stakes and Victoria Derby," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch pointed out.

"Recent two-year-old stakes winning filly Stretan Angel was purchased at this sale last year for $64,000."

"This year's sale will no doubt continue to produce for prospective buyers again - whether they be trainers, owners, agents or pin-hookers," Bowditch added.
