"This is a sale that has a remarkable record for producing high class gallopers right around the world," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said. 

"Horses purchased from the National Yearling Sale have won races such as the Golden Slipper, Victoria Derby, Dubai Golden Shaheen, AJC Oaks, Rosehill Guineas, Memsie Stakes, Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes, AJ Moir Stakes, Kelt Capital Stakes and New Zealand Two Thousand Guineas."

"This year's catalogue will see youngsters by all the country's leading sires go under the hammer and the majority are eligible to be paid up for the $20 million plus Magic Millions Race Series with 28 races across six states each year for horses of all ages - including the $1m National 2YO Classic, with the 2025 edition on 23 May under lights at the Gold Coast." 

"Over recent years the sale has been a happy hunting place for traders looking for a future breeze-up or trial and racetrack star," Bowditch added.
