Storms See 2025 Magic Millions Races Abandoned, Rescheduled for Friday Night

The 2025 Magic Millions Fillies & Mares along with six other Magic Millions races were abandoned due to heavy rainfall and have been rescheduled for Friday night on January 17 under the lights at the Gold Coast. 

The Magic Millions Fillies & Mares is one of ten Restricted races held at Queensland’s Gold Coast Racecourse each January as part of the iconic $13.75 million Magic Millions Summer Racing Carnival.

The meeting is headlined by two $3 million races – the Magic Millions 2YO Classic & Magic Millions 3YO Guineas – and is the highlight of the annual Magic Millions Racing Carnival.

The Gold Coast Magic Millions Fillies & Mares race is a 1300m showdown run at set weights plus penalties by female gallopers that are graduates of the Magic Millions Sales. Formerly run as the Magic Millions Gold Coast Fillies & Mares Handicap, race conditions changed from handicap to set weights + penalties for the 2017 edition.

Runners may come into the field via an earlier summer run either in Sydney or Queensland such as Randwick’s Listed Razor Sharp Handicap (1200m) in December or Brisbane’s Listed Just Now Quality (1350m). Mares may go on to run in feature races over the Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival such as the Group 3 Wenona Girl Handicap (1200m) in March.

Some of the best out of the race may also continue onto the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) in Adelaide in April. The latest mares to complete the Magic Millions Fillies & Mares – Robert Sangster Stakes double in the same season are Driefontein (2014) and Snapdancer (2022).

The best out of the Magic Millions Fillies & Mares often continue onto a Brisbane Winter Racing Carnival campaign later in the year.

Good targets include the Group 2 Dane Ripper Stakes and the Group 1 Tattersall’s Tiara.

In 2018 the Magic Millions Fillies & Mares winner Invincibella won the Dane Ripper that June. She also won both the Magic Millions Fillies & Mares, Dane Ripper and the Tattersall’s Tiara in 2019. Invincibella made history in 2020 taking out her third straight Magic Millions Fillies & Mares race, while the 2021 form was franked with the upset 30/1 winner Krone going on to win Sydney’s Group 1 Coolmore Classic (1500m) that autumn.

The 2022 Gold Coast Magic Millions Fillies & Mares form was franked with the winner Snapdancer going on to win two subsequent Group 1 races taking out that year’s Robert Sangster Stakes in Adelaide and the Memsie Stakes in Melbourne.

The 2024 Magic Millions Fillies & Mares winner Lady Laguna went on to frank the form that autumn with a win in Sydney’s Group 1 Canterbury Stakes.

The rescheduled 2025 Gold Coast Magic Millions Fillies & Mares runs under the lights at the Gold Coast on Friday January 17, 2025 after the original meeting was washed out.

2025 Magic Millions Fillies & Mares Tips

Stay tuned for our insider Magic Millions Fillies & Mares 2025 Tips on the million-dollar Gold Coast clash this summer.

• To Win: #16 Star Act ($20 at time of publish) – BET NOW

Intriguing edition of the MM Fillies & Mares with plenty of form lines to consider but going out on a limb and suggesting a boil over could be pending with the progressive Star Act at $20 at time of publish. That’s a big price but this nicely bred, four-year-old daughter of Snitzel ticks a few boxes for the upset. She is drawn the rails, comes from a quality Queensland stable with Liam Birchley up at the Sunny Coast, and was formerly with Bjorn Baker in Sydney. She’s got a lovely record at this distance (6:2-2-1), is super versatile when it comes to track conditions, and comes off back-to-back wins. Chases a hat-trick now, is full of confidence after carrying 57.5kg to victory at this distance at home on New Year’s Day, and is back to 55.5kg. Craig Williams rides. Can shock them.

Magic Millions Fillies & Mares History

Over the past decade the Magic Millions Fillies & Mares race at the Gold Coast has changed from a handicap clash to a set weights plus penalties race.

A number of nice types have won the event including Group 1 winner Driefontein (2014) for Sydney’s Gai Waterhouse.

The Chris Waller-trained Invincibella won back-to-back editions of the race in 2018-19 and went on to win the 2019 Group 1 Tatt’s Tiara in Brisbane over the winter. She returned in 2020 to make it an historical three-peat with yet another victory in the $1 million feature.

The Gold Coast’s Magic Millions Day – including the 2023 Magic Millions Fillies & Mares -was abandoned after the opening two races due to ongoing rainfall, deteriorating track conditions and unsafe jockey conditions and rescheduled for the following Thursday.
