Magic Millions Raceday 2025: $14.5M prizemoney, star horses, and live coverage on Seven

The Star Gold Coast Magic Millions Raceday is thundering down the track this Saturday, 11 January, promising a day of high-stakes racing and glamour. With $14.5 million in prizemoney across 10 races, this flagship event of the Queensland Summer Racing Carnival is set to leave fans on the edge of their seats.

Broadcast live and free on Seven and 7plus, it’s a must-watch event for anyone who loves the thrill of a close finish or the elegance of Gold Coast trackside fashion.

All eyes on the feature races

The spotlight will be on the $3 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic and the $3 million Magic Millions 3YO Guineas, where some of Australia’s best young thoroughbreds are ready to make their mark. In the 2YO Classic, stars like Invincible Woman and Icarian Dream are tipped to lead the charge, while the 3YO Guineas sees favourites like Snitzanova vying for the winner’s circle.

With fields packed tighter than the barriers at the starting gate, these races promise more drama than a last-stride photo finish.

Seven brings the action

Leading the broadcast is Seven’s racing dream team, featuring Hamish McLachlan, Emma Freedman, and Jason Richardson, ensuring no stride or gallop goes unnoticed. Kate Waterhouse will add flair to the day, covering trackside fashion and celebrity sightings.

From the pre-race paddock buzz to the roar of the crowd at the finish line, Seven’s coverage will keep viewers glued to the action.
