Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted 6 hours ago Journalists Posted 6 hours ago By Kit Gow/TTRAusNZ The catalogue for the 2026 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale has been released, with 1221 lots entered across Book 1 and Book 2, to be offered over five days of selling in January next year. Commencing on Tuesday, January 13, on the same day as the Magic Millions Barrier Draw, Book 1 will run until the Friday's super session, with Book 2 taking place on Sunday, January 18. “We are incredibly proud to present the catalogue for the 2026 Gold Coast Yearling Sale,” said Magic Millions managing director Barry Bowditch. “This sale is firmly established as the best producing auction in the country. No better example (of that) being the six Group 1 winners from the 2024 sale. “From recent legends like Winx, Imperatriz and Alligator Blood to new pin-up performers Apocalyptic, Autumn Boy, Charm Stone, Cool Archie, Ole Dancer and Stefi Magnetica – the Gold Coast Yearling Sale delivers year after year.” From the 2024 sale has emerged the likes of G1 Blue Diamond Stakes winner Devil Night (Extreme Choice), a A$1.4 million graduate of Kingstar Farm's draft, G1 JJ Atkins Plate winner Cool Archie (Cool Aza Beel), from the draft of Newhaven Park, and Blue Gum Farm-sold G1 Sistema Stakes winner Return To Conquer (Snitzel). The 2026 catalogue features 239 lots from stakes-winning mares, including the offspring of 31 Group 1 winners – the highlights of which include the first yearling out of Snapdancer (Choisir) and the second and last foal from Hungry Heart (Frankel). In addition, there are half, three quarter and full siblings on offer to the likes of G1 Golden Slipper Stakes winner Manaal (Snitzel), Imperatriz (I Am Invincible), Farnan, Artorius and Stay Inside, as well as this year's top-level stars Sepals (Calyx), Devil Night and Stefi Magnetica (All Too Hard). A total of 122 individual sires will be represented, 14 of which will see their first yearlings go through the ring, including nine-time Group 1-winning hero Anamoe, In The Congo, State Of Rest, Sejardan, Top Ranked and Diatonic, plus the Magic Millions Gold Coast Group 1-winning graduates Hitotsu, Ellsberg, Artorius, Jacquinot and Profondo. The catalogue will also have a distinctly international flavour courtesy of two entrants from the first Southern Hemisphere-bred crop of six-time Group 1 winner Baaeed, one by Siyouni and one by Munnings, amongst a number by Northern Hemisphere sires. Bowditch added, “Our team has worked hard in bringing together a catalogue packed with athletic yearlings that we think will give their buyers the ride of their life.” The post Magic Millions Release Jam-Packed Catalogue for 2026 Gold Coast Sale Season Opener appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
