Entries Open for Gold Coast Horses in Training Sale

Media Release - Tuesday June 17

Australia's leading breeze up style sale, the Magic Millions Gold Coast Horses in Training Sale, is ready to deliver again for vendors with entries for the 2025 auction now open.

Strong domestic and international interest has been received following the recent National Sale as buyers search for their next racetrack star.

The 2025 Gold Coast Horses in Training Sale will be held on Thursday, 9 October, following four breeze up sessions across three states.

Over the past two years this sale has produced a clearance rate for vendors of over 74 per cent - significantly higher than the other selling option in Australia (at under 61%). 

"This is a sale that produces for vendors each year," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said. "A sign of a healthy market is a strong clearance rate and that is where this sale is clearly the market leader in Australia."

"Our team, led by the herculean David Chester, each year is able to present vendors with a strong buying bench that is active at all levels of the market."

"Vendors will also benefit from having Magic Millions representatives on the ground in China (Amy Feng), Hong Kong (Thomas Yeung), Korea (Yoo Jae-Hyong) and the Philippines (Ancy Palma)."

"We lead through international and domestic engagement and our innovative technology is number one - promoting transparency and providing real success." 

"In October we again look forward to hosting buyers from around Australia as well as China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, New Zealand, Philippines, South Korea and Thailand."

"Last year we opened the sale up to both two and three-year-olds and this year we will also include four-year-olds - the thirst for racehorses from a number of countries is very strong." 

"We want our vendors to know that we will leave no stone unturned in attracting prospective buyers to keep the trend of being the best clearing sale of its type in Australia," Bowditch added.
