  • 2021 MM Gold Coast Book-1 Easily Tops 2020

    Monday, 18th January 2021

    Book One of the 2021 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale rounded out the evening session to finish with a sale gross of over $197 million with an average price of $253,848 and clearance rate of 88 per cent - all up on last year's record-breaking figures. With additional sales likely on passed-in lots those figures could well improve by early in the week. "It's overwhelming," Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said. "It's special what we've achieved. To work as we've done in the last six months to put this catalogue together, and then to have the restrictions and the roadblocks put in place over the last month, has put this team under immense pressure. To pull this off to the level we have is something we didn't expect. It is very special." Bowditch added, "We've had quality horses from Lot 1 to Lot 962.  "It's a huge list of buyers, when you look at the syndicators, you've got the individual owners, you've got a big, big group of trainers and you've got the funds and farms getting in behind these horses. It's a big deep list and everyone has played their part. I'm speechless."
