Magic Millions 2025 – Who are the Biggest Vendors?

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday November 12

Widden Stud are again the leading vendor in terms of numbers for the 2025 Magic Millions Yearling Sale and will present 70 yearlings across Book 1 and 2 with Newgate Farm hot on their heels with 63.

All of the Newgate yearlings are catalogued in Book 1 and they will be looking to replicate the success they achieved in 2024 when they finished as leading vendor by aggregate.

Segenhoe Stud enjoyed exceptional results in 2024 selling 30 yearlings at an average of $555,500 with the draft featuring an astonishing seven individual million dollar yearlings, so all eyes will be on them with another stellar selection that includes the full sister to In Secret.

Coolmore sold the top lot in 2024 when their Wootton Bassett (GB) filly from Avantage was snapped up by David Ellis for $2.1million and the second foal from Avantage, a filly by I Am Invincible is an obvious standout in their draft for 2025 along with a Home Affairs filly from Sunlight.
