The auction, to be held on March 11 and 12 at Australia's holiday playground, has attracted a catalogue of 390 quality racetrack prospects - all eligible for the $20.7 million Magic Millions Race Series and added millions in QTIS bonuses and exclusive races.

A great line up of youngsters by 72 individual sires, including 11 first seasoners, will go under the hammer at the popular auction.

Spirit of Boom is well represented.

Queensland's siring superstars Spirit of Boom and Better Than Ready are both heavily represented in the 2024 catalogue with a combined 69 lots.
"QTIS eligible runners have over many years boasted a first class record in highly regarded races," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said.

"The likes of Buffering, Ellsberg, Apache Chase, Skirt the Law, Jonker, The Odyssey, Yellow Brick, Winning Rupert and Prince of Boom have flown the flag for QTIS after being sold from the Gold Coast sale ring."

"The $1 million Racing Queensland QTIS Open has been won by former sale graduates including Boom Torque, Chapter and Verse, I'm a Rippa and Buffering, while Punch On also won a Magic Millions 3YO Guineas."

"The incentives for buyers of this sale are second to none," Bowditch added. "There's now free registration for purchases into QTIS and the extra opportunities for these horses are unbelievable!"

"There's over $13 million in QTIS prizemoney bonuses, the $2 million QTIS Jewel Raceday, the $1.5 million Magic Millions QTIS Open and the $750,000 King of the Mountain."

"If there wasn't already enough incentive for QTIS buyers, the 2024 Gold Coast March Yearling Sale is the only sale to offer a discount on the Magic Millions Race Series nomination fee, making their purchases eligible for the rocketing suite of 28 graduate races to be held across six states of Australia during the 2024/25 racing season."

NSW based buyers and owners will be delighted with the quality line up of 93 lots who are BOBS eligible – youngsters by 35 individual sires.
