27 November 2024
With plenty of group racing in-between tasty treats and summer beats enjoy every moment along Brisbane’s Road to Magic Millions.
Six racedays between 30 November and 28 December comprise Brisbane’s Road to Magic Millions summer racing carnival, spoiling racegoers with ample opportunity to enjoy the festivities.
Enjoy Every Race
Eagle Farm and Doomben racecourse will light up Queensland’s summer racing calendar featuring four Group 3 and ten Listed races.
The carnival kicks off on 30 November when bush gallopers and sprinting superstars charge into Doomben racecourse to contend the Country Cups Challenge and Stampede finals, and the G3 George Moore Stakes at XXXX Country Finals Raceday.
In a first this year, the Ladbrokes George Moore Stakes will form part of Entain’s Trans-Tasman Champion Sprint Series culminating in a series of Group One Sprints in New Zealand early in the new year.
Sunset Summer Raceday on 6 December at Doomben is sure to be a highlight. This Friday afternoon card has fast become a favourite for Christmas parties, offering a relaxed yet exciting atmosphere.
Eagle Farm will take centre stage for the carnival’s final four Saturdays as the excitement continues to build.
The first “win-and-you’re-in” to The Star Stradbroke Handicap is on the line at The Star Gateway Raceday (7 December). This weight-for-age feature race grants winning connections the opportunity to select a horse to line up in next year’s most prestigious race in Queensland.
Traditionally exclusive to four-year-olds, the 2024 edition of The Star Gateway will see three-year-olds compete for the first time.
On 14 December, Ladbrokes Grand Prix Stakes Raceday will feature a thrilling Group 3 middle-distance race for three-year-olds, followed by Seven Members Mile Raceday on 21 December 2024.
A second feature on Seven Members Mile Raceday includes the Magic Millions BJ McLachlan Stakes.
Have your blackbooks handy – two of the last three Magic Millions BJ McLachlan champions, Storm Boy and Coolangatta, have gone on to win the Magic Millions 2YO Classic on the Gold Coast just a few weeks later, making this a key race for future stars.
Magic Millions Prelude Raceday (28 December 2024) concludes the summer carnival as trainers put the final touches on their Magic Millions preparations.
