The Magic Millions races in Launceston are programmed to complement the Magic Millions Tasmanian Yearling Sale, conducted a few weeks later.
Magic Millions, in conjunction with Tasracing & Tasbreeders, is proud to support the state with two feature races offering a total of $170,000 in prizemoney & bonuses, including the $75,000 3YO & 4YO Classic. Both features are quality races and highly contested, as shown by past winners of the Magic Millions Tasmania 2YO Classic such as stakes winners Sassy Boom, Turk Warrior, Deroche, Hot Dipped and Gold Busker. The 2024 edition of the 2YO race was won emphatically by the all-female owned Ms Tasmania, trained & ridden by Siggy Carr.
For the eighth time in 2025, Tasracing & Magic Millions are proud to offer a $10,000 Racing Women’s Bonus to connections of the first all female owned (or leased) 2YO in finishing order in the 2025 Magic Millions Tasmania 2YO Classic. Conditions apply, see below.
In 2018, the inaugural Magic Millions-Tasracing Racing Women’s Bonus was won by Tiesto, who ran 2nd in the 2YO Classic (behind Our Long Sali), and was trained by Ken & Tanya Hanson and owned by a group of eight happy women. In 2019, the Magic Millions-Tasracing Racing Women’s Bonus was won by Chase on the Case, trained by Matthew Brown, whilst in 2020 Gamble in Paris took home the Bonus monies. In 2022, the Leanne Gaffney trained Vokes took home the $10,000 Bonus for her ecstatic ownership group of eleven women, when finishing third past the post. The 2023 race victor Sassy Boom became the first horse to win the MM Tasmanian 2YO Classic and Racing Women’s Bonus. Ms Tasmania emulated that feat in 2024 winning the 2YO Classic and Racing Women’s Bonus for her group of 18 female owners.
The connections of the winners of both Magic Millions races will also win a $5,000 sales credit vouchers towards purchasing at the 2025 Tasmanian Yearling Sale.
