The race is held on the highly anticipated Gold Coast Magic Millions Race Day and is open only to horses previously purchased at the Magic Millions yearling sales. The meeting became the country’s first offering $10 million in prize money in 2016 and continues to grow in prestige and stakes.
As well as the Gold Coast Magic Millions 2YO Classic the meeting features 10 other events including the $3 million Magic Millions 3YO Guineas (1400m).
The Magic Millions Classic is also worth $3 million in prize money as of 2024 and is contested over 1200m by two-year-old Magic Millions graduates.
Horses in the Gold Coast’s Magic Millions 2YO Classic field may have had a lead-up run the month before in Sydney’s Wyong Magic Millions Classic (1100m). Another good lead-up into the lucrative $3 million feature is the Group 3 B.J. McLachlan Stakes (1200m) in Brisbane a fortnight earlier.
Coolangatta (2021 – 2022) followed by Storm Boy (2023 – 2024) are the last two-year-olds to complete the BJ McLachlan Stakes – Magic Millions 2YO Classic double.
The best out of the Magic Millions Classic go on to have successful autumn campaigns including a possible run in the Group 1 Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m) at Rosehill Gardens. Capitalist (2016) was the last horse to win the Magic Millions 2YO Classic – Golden Slipper double as a juvenile.
The 2022 Magic Millions 2YO Classic form was franked with the winning filly Coolangatta continuing on to run third in that autumn’s Golden Slipper results. She also won the Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m) at The Valley in the spring.
In 2024 co-trainer Gai Waterhouse celebrated her record fifth Magic Millions 2YO Classic win on the Gold Coast with race favourite Storm Boy saluting for the punters.
Storm Boy franked the Magic Millions Classic 2024 form with a third in that year’s Golden Slipper Stakes results.
The rescheduled 2025 Magic Millions 2YO Classic ran under the lights at the Gold Coast on Friday January 17, 2025 offering $3 million in total prize money and saw the Bjorn Baker trained Wyong MM Classic winning filly O’Ole ($12) post an impressive upset.

2025 Magic Millions 2YO Classic Tips
Stay tuned for our exclusive Magic Millions 2YO Classic 2025 Tips on the $3 million showdown for two-year-olds this summer.
- To Win: #9 La Bella Boom ($6 at time of publish) – BET NOW
Typically top-class field of two-year-olds engaged in the rescheduled MM Classic but have landed on the consistent La Bella Boom to beat home the boys for Eagle Farm horseman Tony Gollan. Gollan won this race two year’s back with Skirt The Law, and this nicely bred daughter of his former stable star Spirit Of Boom looks to be right up to this. She is proven at the 1200m having won at this distance at Doomben back in November and was huge fresh last start. In easier company over 1100m at the Sunny Coast she saluted by nearly three lengths. This is tougher but think she is up for the challenge from barrier 10 with master hoop Craig Williams in the saddle.

The Gold Coast’s Magic Millions 2YO Classic field attracts the best two-year-old Magic Millions graduates and is released by Racing Queensland on the Monday before the famous Magic Millions Race Day. The field capacity is 16 starters plus five emergencies.

The 2025 Magic Millions 2YO Classic barrier draw saw Invincible Woman draw ideally in gate nine, while the rails run belongs to Peter Snowden’s class filly Memo.

Magic Millions Classic History
The Magic Millions Classic was first run in 1987 when the Sally Rogers-trained Snippets claimed victory. From 1988 through until 1991, two races were run every year, one solely for fillies. Then in 1992 there was again two Magic Millions Classic races run, one over the standard 1200m and the other over 1400m. It was in this year that Clan O’Sullivan set a time record for the race of 1:08.46, the champion horse winning both runnings of the event for 1992. A similar thing happened the following year in 1991 when star filly Bold Promise claimed victory in both the fillies and the open Magic Millions Classic races.
A host of star two-year-olds have won the Magic Millions 2YO Classic at the Gold Coast over the years including subsequent Golden Slipper champion Capitalist (2016).
The fillies have a dominant record over the colts and geldings in recent Magic Millions Classic history including wins by Houtzen (2017), Sunlight (2018), Exhilarates (2019), Away Game (2020), that year’s odds-on favourite Coolangatta (2022), and O’Ole (2025) who completed the Wyong / Gold Coast Magic Millions 2YO Classic double.
The Gold Coast’s Magic Millions Day – including the 2023 Magic Millions 2YO Classic -was abandoned after the opening two races due to ongoing rainfall, deteriorating track conditions and unsafe jockey conditions and rescheduled for the following Thursday.
The 2024 Magic Millions Classic prize purse was increased to $3 million with Gai Waterhouse training her fifth winner in Storm Boy.
In 2025 the Magic Millions Classic ran on a Friday night under the lights after the original Saturday meeting the weekend prior was washed out.
