Richest maiden in the world
Those new races that the Magic Millions are offering are certainly impressive aren't they?

(Note also that Magic Millions never announce these initiatives prior to a major sale - they let the sale PR carry itself for the desired period and retain these gems for the 'off season' [as it were] to ensure they stay front and centre of the media's attention - it's VERY, VERY good PR.)

A source (who shall, at their request, remain anonymous) alerted me to an interesting fact concerning the new races:

"The $100,000 Maiden Trophy will be the richest in the world and has also never been attempted before ... a stewards nightmare - but still a great new initiative".

Magic Millions will certainly be celebrating their 21st birthday in fine style next January - the entire Gold Coast raceday is open only to MM sales graduates with $3 Million of the Race Series prizemoney on offer.

The entire Magic Millions Race Series is now worth $4.05 Million.
