The rescheduled Magic Millions Raceday proved to be a triumph for Victorian-bred and sired horses, with standout performances across the prestigious card at the Gold Coast on Friday night. From two-year-old brilliance to big-money classics, Victorian talents delivered exceptional results, showcasing the strength and quality of the state’s breeding and stallion ranks.
O’Ole (Ole Kirk x Vellor)
Breeder: Gilgai Farm VIC
Victorian-bred two-year-old filly O’ Ole (Ole Kirk x Vellor) dazzled with a powerful run down the straight to claim the R. Listed Magic Millions 2YO Classic. Trained by Bjorn Baker and bred by the renowned Gilgai Farm, O’Ole continues to highlight the potential of Victorian-bred juveniles.
The talented filly opened her career with a smart third-place run in the Group 3 Gimcrack S. in October and scored the R. Listed Magic Millions Wyong 2YO Classic in December.
She was a $325,000 purchase for her trainer and Clarke Bloodstock from her breeders at the 2024 Magic Millions Gold Coast Sale, and has now amassed $1,927,750 in earnings.
Bosustow (Blue Point x Bumbasina)

Victorian-sired three-year-old colt Bosustow (ex Bumbasina) stormed home late, holding off a competitive field to secure the R. Listed Magic Millions 3YO Guineas for Annabel Neasham and Rob Archibald.
By Darley’s Victorian-based sire Blue Point, who stands at Northwood Park, Bosustow exemplifies the consistent quality emerging from Victoria’s stallion roster. The two-year-old Group 1-placetter was purchased by Rosemont Alliance, Suman Hedge Bloodstock and his trainers for $900,000 at the 2023 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.
Blue Point currently sits second on the Second-Season Sires table.
