Tour Details

Join us and Group 1-winning syndicators First Light Racing for an exclusive VIP Magic Millions weekend. Working alongside their trainers, Tim Wilson and the FLR team, guests will gain a rare behind-the-scenes insight into how the next stars of the Australian and international turf are identified and purchased. FLR’s impressive record includes Aristia, purchased for $80,000 and winner of the 2018 Group 2 Wakeful Stakes and Group 1 VRC Oaks (earning more than $1.1 million in prizemoney), as well as Abounding, winner of the 2024 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas.

The horse race was great! The atmosphere was thrilling, the horses were incredible, and the whole event was very well-organized. I really enjoyed watching the races and feeling the excitement of the crowd. It was such an amazing experience — I’d definitely come back again!

Brian M

Client
This is one of the best times I have had at a racing carnival. John and the team are wonderful hosts. It was well organized with a great mix of activities as well as the core racing activities. There were a lot of extras, and everything was top class. It is a great way to enjoy prestige racing events and mix with fun groups of people. I will certainly be joining in more tours. I highly recommend them. I attended the Magic Millions events.
