Every year in January, the Gold Coast, Australia becomes the epicentre for all things equine for a fun packed 12 days of action and glamour.
The Jeep Magic Millions is the largest sales incentive race day in the world, where only graduates of the Magic Millions Sales are eligible to compete for the $4.7 million prize pool. The Magic Millions Sales and race day has established its reputation on the international racing scene, and has fast become a “must attend” event worldwide for buyers, punters and fashionistas!
It really is an amazing 12 days on the racing calendar where everything equine is melded with everything social and results in one of the best experiences you can have anywhere in the world. Even the Barrier draws for the main races are performed on the famous Surfers Paradise foreshore where one of the spectacles to greet the attendees is actual thoroughbred race horses sprinting along the beach!
Of course there is the amazing ‘Fashions on the Field’ competition that really does bring some high class fashion and beautiful women to the track. This year in 2014, the event will be hosted by international model, VJ, MTV presenter and recently appointed Myer Ambassador Kate Peck seen here.
And things got a little interesting this year ladies, because for the first time EVER Magic Millions is a Myer Fashions on the Field QLD State Final! The prize pool is now over $40,000 in total. The Myer Fashions on the Field Queensland state final winner for women’s racewear will enjoy a ten-day trip of a lifetime to attend the 2014 Melbourne Cup Carnival at Flemington worth more than $10,000 including a $3,000 Myer Shopping Spree. Pre-registration for FOTF is open now until 5pm Wednesday 8th January here
Another amazing incentive that has been put in place at this carnival is the ‘Women in Racing’ bonus that is attached to the main $2 million Jeep Magic Millions 2YO Classic. Any horse that is fully owned or leased by a group of all females is eligible for a $500,000 bonus pool for the first 4 horses that fit the criteria in the race. Ladies, you don’t even have to run a place, just get your horse to the race and be the first eligible horse past the post and you win! *Not necessarily 1st – 4th past the post.
