The sale that produces more champions than any other in the Southern Hemisphere is ready to do it again with the online release of the 2025 catalogue.
Magic Millions is excited to unveil an outstanding catalogue of 1,401 yearlings for the country’s most anticipated and popular auction, the Gold Coast Yearling Sale.
The race and breed shaping event, which commences on 07 January, will see the finest yearlings of Australasia come together at the famous Bundall selling complex.
The Gold Coast Yearling Sale has not only led the way for individual Group One winners from this sale since 2019, more than double any one other Australian yearling sale, they have also won three times more Group One races.
With past graduates including superstars Winx (25 Gr1s), Golden Sixty (10 Gr1s), Imperatriz (10 Gr1s) and Alligator Blood (7 Gr1s) you can see why the sale is held in the highest of regard.
This season the sale has again established itself the clear leader with elite level winners including Southport Tycoon, Private Life, El Castello and last week’s Melbourne Cup hero Knight’s Choice.
The star studded catalogue of yearlings across Books One and Two, includes progeny of 127 individual sires, with strong interest to surround youngsters by 21 first season sires.
Among lots catalogued are (at least half) relations to Group One winners including Amelia’s Jewel, Imperatriz, In Secret, Nettoyer, Profondo and Warm Heart as well as spring carnival group winners Bel Merci, First Settler and Too Darn Discreet.
Yearlings from crack race mares including Avantage, Away Game, Bel Mer, Bonaria, Booker, Chica Fuerte, Fasika, Global Glamour, Haut Brior Her, In Her Time, Maybe Discreet, Speak Fondly, Sunlight, Sweet Sherry, Tinto and Toffee Tongue are all catalogued.
“The sale is the most influential for our industry with future stallions including Snitzel, Pierro, Savabeel, Written Tycoon, Pierata, Stay Inside, Farnan, Zoustar and Capitalist all being sold in the sale ring that will host their progeny in January.”
“Our team has inspected yearlings right across Australia and New Zealand and assembled what we feel is a truly world class offering of future racetrack stars.”
“We’re proud of the development of our graduates, with 34 individual Group One winners and 237 stakes winners produced from this sale over the last five years, regularly winning across all distances and age groups,” Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said.
“Buyers should be confident to know they can come to January to fill any order. Be that for Golden Slipper winning colts, Coolmore winners, Guineas winners, Oaks and Derby winners, and even Melbourne Cup winners. You can find them all on the Gold Coast in January.”
“Buying a yearling at the 2025 Gold Coast Yearling Sale will provide shoppers the opportunity to race for more than A$20 million in 28 races nationally every year as part of the Magic Millions Race Series,” Bowditch added.
