North Queensland Magic Millions Two-Year-Old Bonus Series
The Chairman of Queensland Racing Limited (QRL), Mr Bob Bentley, announced in February last year increases to four key races leading into the $100,000 Parry Nissan Two-Year-Old Classic. Due to Equine Influenza (EI) and the affects it had on the two-year-old populations in North Queensland the first two races of this series were not programmed.
QRL and Magic Millions have taken the decision to re-allocate the additional races as per the schedule below, the series will commence this weekend in Cairns with the running of a $20,000 two-year-old Handicap to be conducted over 1000m.
