The Conrad Jupiters Magic Millions Racing Carnival at the Gold Coast brings with it an exciting calendar of racing action and glittering social events.

Get your pulse racing for eleven days of celebrations when the carnival kicks off on January 3.

As the official hotel and sponsor of the carnival, Conrad Jupiters will be the place to be off the track, with a range of events planned across the festival.

Conrad Jupiters will lift the starter’s gate on the off-track events on Tuesday January 6 with the 2YO and 3YO Classic Barrier Draw in the Atrium.

Witness the anticipation of thoroughbred owners as their fate is revealed at the barrier draw before joining the who’s who of the racing industry at the Carbine Club luncheon in Conrad Jupiters’ Pavilion Ballroom.

Glen Boss, winning 2003 Melbourne Cup jockey, will appear as special guest speaker at this invitation-only event.

The Conrad Jupiters Magic Millions Carnival is renowned for offering unprecedented glamour and sophistication. This will be no more apparent than at the Conrad Jupiters’ stylish opening night cocktail party on Wednesday January 7. To be held in the Pavilion Ballroom, festivities will commence at 6pm.

Tickets to this gala event are $150 per person, including live entertainment, culinary delights, Veuve Clicquot and a special presentation by Paspaley pearls.

Festivities will continue on Thursday 8 January with The Gold Coast Bulletin Business Breakfast, also held in Conrad Jupiters’ Pavilion Ballroom.

Join television personality Tony Squires from ABC’s The Fat, along with racing personalities and entrepreneurs John Singleton and Gerry Harvey, for a morning of light-hearted entertainment.

Tickets are $48 per person, including a hearty cooked breakfast, juice and freshly brewed tea and coffee.

For racing action at its best, join in the excitement of the Conrad Jupiters $1million Magic Millions Race Day on Saturday January 10. See the stars of the previous years’ Magic Millions Sales race it out at the prestigious Conrad Jupiters 2YO Magic Millions Classic and the $1 million Conrad Jupiters 3YO trophy.

For those more interested in the social action of race day, gorgeous hats, exquisite outfits and hot tips will be the order of the day as more than 16,000 people partake in trackside celebrations at the Gold Coast Turf Club.

If it is horse sales you are after, visit the sales yards from January 4 – 13 and experience the adrenaline charged atmosphere of the biggest yearling sales in the Southern Hemisphere.

The stables will sparkle and shine with ringside dining facilities fully catered for by Conrad Jupiters available throughout the sales. Tickets are just $100 per person.
