"With recent graduates including the likes of millionaire performers Hidden Wealth and Encoder as well as this season's crack juvenile Itchintogo, the sale keeps delivering for buyers," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said.

"The usual quality line up of QTIS youngsters are back in 2026 alongside an impressive line up of yearlings from some leading interstate nurseries to make the auction a real must attend for buyers." 

"We are really excited with the quality line up heading to the sale. Many of the leading farms will be represented with the new format and this will help to market the sale
