The Magic Millions Guineas (1400m) is a prestigious Restricted Listed race for three-year-olds, under set weights and penalties at the Gold Coast Racecourse. Exclusively open to horses sold or passed-in at Magic Millions Sales, this race embodies the Magic Millions brand’s unique integration of elite thoroughbred auctions and high-stakes racing. With a current prize pool of $3 million, the Guineas is a key feature of the annual Magic Millions Raceday, co-headlining the event alongside the two-year-old Magic Millions Classic.
The Magic Millions Raceday, known for being one of the richest race meetings globally with a total prize pool exceeding $14.25 million, is held at a time when the racing season is relatively quiet. This positions the Magic Millions Guineas as one of the first major events on the Australian racing calendar, drawing notable attention from racing enthusiasts and participants nationwide.
Eligibility for the Magic Millions Guineas is strictly limited to horses that have been through a Magic Millions sale. This unique criterion underscores the race’s connection to the brand’s core business and ensures that only the best talent from their auctions competes for the generous prize.
