The $2 million 2YO Classic is the highlight of the meet, headlining Seven’s 90-minute broadcast.

The powerhouse of Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott are looking to extend their lead of Magic Millions wins with their golden girl, Platinum Jubilee. Skirt The Law will be flying the Queensland flag for her all-female ownership group, with their eyes on the coveted Racing Women’s Bonus.

Another highlight is the $2 million Magic Millions Guineas for three-year-olds. King Of The Mountain conqueror, Yellow Brick will start as one of the favourites in the event, with the home state hero’s main competition expected to come from Sydney raider, Russian Conquest and last start Rising Stars winner, Spiritualised.

Thursday’s Magic Millions Raceday is the culmination of a huge fortnight on the Gold Coast with coverage of last week’s Magic Millions yearling sales also available on 7plus.
