For the first time Magic Millions will hold a four day yearling sale in Adelaide next February.
Details of the four day selling period and a change in the format of the sale and race have been virtually confirmed by Magic Millions.

The demand for places in the Adelaide Select Session has forced Magic Millions to extend that part of the sale to three sessions, including a night session.

The first day of the sale is pencilled in for Tuesday February 18, which follows two official days of general inspections. Selling is tipped to get underway at about 11am. This session is expected to run for about five hours.

Selling will then continue on Wednesday at 6pm following the running of a raceday at Morphettville, which will include the running of the $400,000 Adelaide Magic Millions Classic for qualified two-year-olds. The sale following the racing action is expected to run for about three hours.

The final day of the select session will be held on Thursday kicking off at 11am. This is expected to be the biggest day of offerings - six hours has been set aside by Magic Millions for selling.

As it has proven in the past the Adelaide Summer Select Yearling Sale is popular with many local and travelling trainers and buyers. Held on Friday this session is expected to kick off at about 11am also and is expected to run for the entire afternoon.
