Former Australian Racehorse of the Year Scenic Blast will have heads turning in Perth on Tuesday when he makes a special appearance at the inaugural Magic Millions Perth Barrier Draw function in the city.

Scenic Blast, a former graduate of the Perth Yearling Sale, won Australia’s two leading Group One sprint races in Melbourne – the Lightning Stakes and Newmarket Handicap – before flying to England and beating the best sprinters Europe could assemble in the King’s Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Amongst the 15 acceptors for the Magic Millions Perth 2YO Classic are five last start metropolitan winners including the unbeaten Palace Intruder. Whilst the field of 14 for the Magic Millions 3YO Trophy is headlined by multiple stakes winner Petrol Power.
