Magic Millions expects the biggest domestic and international buying bench will be drawn to the Gold Coast for the world class National Sale in May and June.

Entries are now open for the Magic Millions National Sale regarded as the Southern Hemisphere's number one thoroughbred breeding stock auction.

"We are delighted to again present vendors with the opportunity to nominate for one of the world's leading bloodstock auctions," said Magic Millions managing director Barry Bowditch.

"Not only is the National Sale the peak sale of its type in the Southern Hemisphere year after year, it is the biggest and best because it delivers the perfect vehicle for all participants to sell and purchase bloodstock across every level.

"Our competitive commission rates allow us the opportunity to attract the largest buying bench possible and to market the sale to a global audience."

Entries for the weanlings, yearlings, race fillies and broodmares close on March 15. Entries for racehorses close on May 27.
