Mixed Fortunes for Magic Millions Favourites at Barrier Draw

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday January 9

The favourites have had mixed fortunes with the barrier draw for this year'sMagic Millions 2YO Classic.

Leading hope Jonker drew a single figure barrier in three, while the Tony McEvoy-trained Sunlight was not as fortunate, drawing 15 and Ef Troop fared even worse with 18.

A bad barrier can be overcome as we saw last year when Houtzen jumped from 16 in the field of 16 and scored an easy win.
