With the new racing season in Australia just around the corner, Magic Millions has unveiled further details about its Magic Millions Raceday Jan. 9, set to be Australia's richest-ever card of racing. There will be two new races added to the card–the Magic Millions QTIS Open for Magic Millions and QTIS registered horses of all ages and the Magic Millions Country Cup–worth A$1 million and A$250,000, respectively. Prize money for the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas will double to A$2 million, and a total seven races on the day will be worth A$1 million or more, with purses paid out through last position.
Four lead-up races to the Magic Millions Raceday will be designated as wildcard events, providing the winners, even if they are not Magic Millions registered, automatic entry on the big raceday. The races will take place between Dec. 19 and 26 at the Gold Coast Turf Club and Brisbane Racing Club.
“The inaugural A$10 million Magic Millions Raceday will deliver the most exciting racing experience we've seen in this country,” said Magic Millions Managing Director Vin Cox. “It will showcase the Gold Coast and the Australian Thoroughbred industry to the world at the same time as providing remarkable returns to a broad range of participants.”
