Magic Millions is pleased to announce that Dane Robinson has been appointed as Magic Millions' Bloodstock Manager. Dane takes over from Clint Donovan in this pivotal role beginning April 1.

Having been born into the industry and holding positions both with Gai Waterhouse and Highclere Racing as well as a graduate of the Godolphin Flying Start programme, Dane is ideally positioned for this next prestigious challenge.
 
Clint is stepping back from his full time Bloodstock Manager role and taking on an exciting business opportunity outside of the company with the full support of Gerry, Katie and Barry.
 
Magic Millions Managing Director, Barry Bowditch and Dane are also excited to welcome James Hetherington. James will be an integral part of the bloodstock team, his background in livestock and his four years at Kitchwin Hills have James ready made for his new role.
 
"Dane has become an outstanding and industry respected employee in his time here and is the ideal replacement for Clint's role," Barry Bowditch noted. "Clint has become an integral part of the Magic Millions family and thankfully he will remain an important part of the company going forward as a Consultant and Auctioneer. We also welcome James who I believe is the ideal fit and will complement the outstanding group of people we are lucky to have here." 
 
Gerry, Katie and Barry are grateful to Clint for his years of dedication and the relationships he has forged. We wish him the very best of luck in his exciting new endeavour and are delighted he’ll still be an integral part of the Magic Millions team well into the future.
