Magic Millions 2YO Classic
The 2025 Magic Millions 2YO Classic along with six other Magic Millions races were abandoned due to heavy rainfall and rescheduled for Friday night on January 17 under the lights at the Gold Coast.
Looking for this season’s Magic Millions 2YO Classic betting info, tips and field? The expert tipsters at Neds have put together everything you need to know before the race.
The Magic Millions 2YO Classic is a $3 million, Restricted Listed feature race held at the Gold Coast Racecourse in Queensland each January.
Magic Millions Day on the Gold Coast is one of the country’s richest race days offering over $13.75 million in prize money across the card, which is restricted mainly to Magic Millions graduates and horses that won a ballot exemption into a race via one of the special lead-up events.
Open to two-year-old Magic Millions graduates, the Magic Millions 2YO Classic is contested over 1200m at set weights with the winner taking home over $1.7 million in prize money as of 2024.
Horses that perform well in the Magic Millions 2YO Classic often head south to Melbourne during the autumn to target the Group 1 Blue Diamond Stakes (1200m) at Caulfield and Sydney for April’s Group 1 $5 million Golden Slipper Stakes (1200m). Capitalist (2016) was the last two-year-old to complete the lucrative Magic Millions 2YO Classic – Golden Slipper double.
More recently the 2022 Magic Millions 2YO Classic winning filly Coolangatta ran third in that year’s Golden Slipper results before a win in the spring’s Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m) further franking the form.
