The official 2026 Magic Millions Subzero results will be available below once the race takes place at the Gold Coast on Saturday, January 17, 2026.
- #6 Snitzanova
- #5 You Wahng
- #1 Miss Joelene
Snitzanova ($10) officially entered the staying ranks on Saturday with a powerful victory in the $1 million Magic Millions Subzero. Backed at double figures, the Ciaron Maher-trained mare overcame a wide alley and a step up to 2200m to run down G1 winner You Wahng in a thrilling Gold Coast finish. Zac Lloyd provided the perfect steer, tracking the speed before unleashing the mare’s signature turn of foot. With Miss Joelene filling the minors, the result secured a banner day for Bennett Racing and further cemented the late Snitzel’s legacy as a sire of top-tier talent across all distances.
