Entries Open for MM 2YO's in Training Sale

Media Release - Friday June 22
Entries are now open for the 2018 edition of Australia's most popular breeze up style auction, the Magic Millions Gold Coast 2YOs in Training Sale.

To be held at the Gold Coast on October 9 &10 after four breeze up sessions at three venues, the sale will attract a first class domestic and international buying bench looking for their next racetrack star.

Last year's sale was a great success with 33 lots selling for $100,000 or more with buyers returning to the auction where the graduates record real success.

In 2017 the sale boasted an outstanding depth to the buying bench with $6.1 million of stock sold to Asia including $2.8 million to Hong Kong. The domestic market spent a tick under $4 million.

With an average price around $60,000 and a median price climbing 23%, last year's auction was well received by buyers around Australia and across the globe.

Graduates over the past five years include 641 winners, among them an impressive 42 individual black type performers.
