Boasting a $3,000,000 purse, the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas is one of the richest races in Australia. Alongside the Magic Millions 2YO Classic, it is the joint-featured race of the Magic Millions Carnival held on the Gold Coast each January.
The 1400m race is restricted to three-year-old horses that have been purchased from Magic Millions sales held throughout Australia. These include annual auctions held at the Gold Coast, Adelaide, Perth and Tasmania.
The 3YO Guineas was first run in 2001, and the list of winners since then suggests that you don’t need a champion to take home the riches. Winning purchase prices range from $6,500 to $300,000, so punters get a great look at a wide range of thoroughbreds.
Punting on the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas has become increasingly popular and general interest surrounding the race is huge. With futures markets opening early, punters can secure great odds and lock in the value.

Recent Magic Millions 3YO Guineas winners
- Robert Heathcote & Martin Harley have combined with Abounding ($7.00) to claim their maiden Magic Millions 3YO Guineas, with their three-year-old filly defeating Sovereign Fund ($34.00) and Flying Trapeze ($51.00). Before the race actually got underway, there was drama in the barriers as the John O’Shea-trained Sydney Bowler got himself cast in the gates and the runners were returned to the mounting yard for a lengthy period of time. However, once the horses returned to the racetrack over an hour later, and the gates opened, it was Defiant Spirit ($26.00) and Royal Tribute ($8.00) who set a hot tempo out in front, which set the race up for the swoopers. There was a little scrimmage on the home turn, which saw the race favourite Chrysaor ($4.20) and a few of the favoured runners knocked around but it didn’t stop Harley and his mount, as the daughter of Rich Enuff pushed her way into the clear at the 250m mark. Once Harley pushed the button on his filly, she let down with her customary finishing burst and claimed Sovereign Fund in the final 50m to win by a long neck on the line.
- Josh Parr and Fashion Legend caused a boil over in the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas, giving Richard & Will Freedman one of their biggest wins as a training partnership. Parr gave this son of Deep Field a 10 out of 10 ride as he settled him in the top six and pulled out three-wide on the home corner to make his run, where he proved too strong in the final 200m. He managed to hold off the fast finishing and heavily backed race favourite, Yellow Brick, to win by half a head on the line. Fashion Legend jumped as a $26 outsider with online bookmakers, with many punters not giving him much of a chance, even though he had won the Group 3 Vo Rogue Plate last start at Doomben and had won three in a row coming into Magic Millions Day.
- Having claimed the race 12 months prior with Aim, the Peter & Paul Snowden yard managed to claim the race for a second straight year, this time with King Of Sparta. The three-year-old gelding managed to sustain a long run from the rear of the field under Nash Rawiller and once he hit the front inside the final furlong, no one was ever going to catch him. It was the first time since Gai Waterhouse in 2002-03, that a trainer or in this case training partnership had managed to take the race two years in a row.
- Not many were giving the Peter & Paul Snowden-trained Aim a chance in the 3YO Guineas, but the son of Star Witness blew his rivals away with a stunning turn of foot. However, for the second year in a row the result was marred by controversy when race favourite Isotope dislodged her jockey approaching the home turn. However, under an absolute peach from James McDonald, it was Aim who took home the chocolates despite settling close to last in the big field.
- The 2020 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas will live on in the minds of many for a couple of reasons. Alligator Blood was a dominant victor when proving far too classy for the Guineas field as many predicted he would when jumping as a $1.80 favourite. However, months later Alligator Blood was disqualified after returning a positive swab to Altrenogest. It meant that the runner up on the day Eleven Eleven was elevated to being the 2020 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas winner.
- In what will live on as the tightest finish in 3YO Guineas finish in history, Boomsara held on bravely from Bondi and Outbark Barbie. Boomsara and Bondi broke away from the field to fight it out, but a late closing Outbark Barbie looked to have the sit on the pair. A photo had to separate the runners, with the long-time leader Boomsara getting the nod.
- The only runner the punters wanted heading into 2018 was Pierata and the colt didn’t let the punters down, even though they were made to sweat heading into the straight. The horse jumped away clean enough from the inside stall but was waiting on an out for the majority of the race, which slowed up Pierata’s progress. The opening eventually came, and despite not hitting his straps instantaneously, Pierata streaked away in the latter stages to record a commanding win.
- It was meant to be the year of Winning Rupert, but three-year-old filly Flying Jess had other plans. The John Moloney-trained runner stormed home to down Global Glamour on the line, paying odds of $101 with some bookmakers. Its form prior to the run wasn’t overly impressive which is why most punters didn’t give it a chance, but the dream came true for its connections which paid only $60,000 for the daughter of Hinchinbrook. Read full report.
- Mahuta continued its fantastic run of form to win the 2016 Magic Millions Guineas. The Darren Weir-trained runner entered the race having won its last four starts in Melbourne which included the Group 3 Carbine Club Stakes and Group 2 Sandown Guineas. Despite that form, punters got a great price of $4.50 for the three-year-old and it never looked in doubt, scoring a one-length win over Single Gaze and Egyptian Symbol. Mahuta was a $35,000 purchase at the 2014 Adelaide Yearling Sale.
- Lloyd Kennewell trained Deiheros to win in 2015 at long odds of $25. The son of Bon Hoffa had mixed form heading into the race with a win at Morphettville followed by a 10th in the Vo Rogue Plate, but it pulled out its biggest career victory on the Gold Coast. Deiheros didn’t run a quick time and it has failed to win a race since, but the $6,500 sales purchase certainly made its connections happy. The well-perforned Testashadow finished in second with Echo Gal in third.
- Gai Waterhouse scored her third Magic Millions 3YO win with Sweet Idea in 2014. The Snitzel filly was an expensive $240,000 purchase from the Gold Coast Yearling Sale, but it was well worth the money as it scored a one-length win over Estonian Princess and Enquare. Sweet Idea has been one of the most successful winners having won the Group 2 Missile Stakes and the Group 1 Galaxy at Rosehill.
- Saluter scored in one of the most exciting finishes in the history of the Guineas. The Jason McLachlan-trained runner scored by a head and a nose over the likes of Sizzling and Driefontein, which would both go on to great careers. The $80,000 purchase paid $15 to win as its form prior was consistent, but not up to the level of its opposition.
- Punch On entered the Magic Millions having won the Vo Rogue Plate two weeks prior. The Peter Balzen-trained runner was an $8 chance for the Millions and it scored a narrow nose victory over Easy Running and Happy Hussy. The 2012 edition was one of the weakest Guineas fields and the quality was shown in Punch On’s career that followed. The daughter of Tiger Hill failed to win in 11 subsequent starts.
