"We are delighted with the quality line up of stock we've had entered," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said. 

"We are fortunate to have the finest equine educators preparing horses for the sale. They have proven track records for first class horsemanship – unearthing future track stars for their next connections."

"This sale is a target each and every year for vendors who have sourced top prospects and educated them ready for that next step on the racetrack." 

"Last year's sale has already produced a swag of winners led by Group Two Spirit of Boom Classic winner and Group One JJ Atkins Stakes runner-up Bittercreek." 

The 88 individual sires represented in the catalogue include Alabama Express, All Too Hard, Better Than Ready, Capitalist, Farnan, I Am Invincible, Justify, Pierata, Snitzel, So You Think, Spirit of Boom, Starspangledbanner, Street Boss, Tagaloa, Tassort, Toronado, Trapeze Artist, Vancouver, Written Tycoon, Yes Yes Yes and Zoustar.

In a sale which continues to evolve and adapt in response to the demands from our buying bench, this year's Horses in Training Sale will also include a select group of 22 untapped three-year-olds. 

Magic Millions is also proud to confirm that industry leading technology will again be a part of the breeze-up process for the auction across both two-year-old and three-year-old breeze up categories.

"Last year we introduced industry leading TripleS data with electronic chips providing interested parties with raceday quality data on stride length, frequency and speed," Bowditch added. "This innovation will be back again."

There is an abundance of incentives for prospective buyers with 77 lots nominated to the Magic Millions Race Series, while 116 two-year-olds are BOBS eligible and six three-year-olds are nominated to BOBS Silver. Some 17 lots are nominated to VOBIS Silver, four lots nominated to VOBIS Gold and 33 lots are the progeny of VOBIS Sires. No fewer than 63 lots are QTIS Fully Paid.
