Three of the four breeze up sessions, at Seymour, Newcastle and the Gold Coast, have been held with buyers now able to view their breeze ups and comprehensive electronic TripleS data analysis reports will be online within the next day.

An outstanding line up of untapped youngsters, prepared by world class horsemen and women, are being prepared for the Gold Coast based auction which has a proud history of being the number one Australian sale of its type for producing winners.

"Our team is really looking forward to Gold Coast Horses in Training Sale on October 22," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said. "We have one more breeze up session to go at the Gold Coast."

"The three sessions held so far in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland have produced some exciting prospects for prospective buyers."

"At all three sessions data was electronically gathered using industry leading TripleS data with electronic chips providing interested parties with raceday quality data on stride length, frequency and speed over 600 metres."

"Naturally track and weather conditions presented on the day at each course will differ but the same real-time positioning technology is used across all sessions," Bowditch added.

All of the completed breeze up clips and accompanying times are now online. A wrap of each session follows:
