The Gold Coast Magic Millions Carnival will take place over eighteen days on the Gold Coast, Queensland, in January 2010.
The Magic Millions carnival is held annually each January and has become an integral part of the Australian racing calendar and injects around $90 million-plus into the local economy.
The yearling sale attracts the most high profile buyers from around the world as well as leading Australian trainers, and yearlings purchased from the sale often go on to become elite gallopers at the highest level before becoming valuable stallions and broodmares after retirement.
The $2,000,000 Magic Millions 2YO Classic and $1,000,000 Magic Millions 3YO Trophy are the highlight of the Magic Millions raceday on January 9th, 2010 at picturesque Gold Coast race track, with only graduates of the Magic Millions Sales eligible to contest each event.

Gold Coast Track Map
The Gold Coast race track has very short runs to the first turn from the 1000m and 1200m starts, and slightly longer runs for the 1300m and 1400m starts which is where most races on Magic Million's day commence from. The Stayer's Cup begins from the 1800m chute which has a reasonable run to the first turn.
Racing at the Gold Coast is clockwise and the track circumference is 1885 metres, while the staight length is 400 metres which provides a good run home.
