Magic Millions Here We Come

From this very sale, Te Akau Racing has purchased an extraordinary roll-call of elite performers — including Group 1 winners Imperatriz, Sword of State, Captured By Love, Move To Strike, Return To Conquer, Campionessa, Princess Coup, Costa Viva, and Tell A Tale - horses that went on to achieve the highest level of success on the racetrack.

Independent research conducted by Magic Millions over the past five years places David Ellis CNZM at the top when it comes to yearling purchases that progress to black-type winners. It’s a powerful endorsement of a simple philosophy: buy the right horse, from the right sale, with the right preparation and people behind it - and the loyal owners who make this magic reality!

That’s why we encourage you to 'watch what we buy.'

If you’d like to be involved, you can join our Te Akau Priority List. Those on the list receive daily, personalised emails throughout the sale, outlining the horses we have purchased and our thoughts on them - along with opportunities to take part. It’s the closest you can be to the action without being ringside.  Simply email [email protected] and we will pop you on that list!

Te Akau on the Ground

While the sale officially begins Tuesday, our work has been well underway.

The Te Akau team conducted extensive on-farm inspections late last year, and we are starting to personally inspect yearlings in the lead-up to sale day - assessing athleticism, temperament, scope, and suitability for elite racing programmes.

This sale continues to lead the way in producing champions - from sprint stars to Classic winners - and even a Melbourne Cup winner.

For Te Akau, the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale has long been a cornerstone of our success. The results speak for themselves.

If you’d like to be part of it — watch what we buy, and come on the journey with us.
