The Malaysia Magic Millions Classic enters a new chapter this year when prizemoney for the race confined to graduates of Magic Millions sales will be raised to RM1m.

This is a huge jump from last year when the race was worth only RM400,000.

Also, the race for three and four-year-olds is open to Singapore trained horses for the first time this year.

Three Singapore horses have been nominated for the race which will be held on Aug 30.

EXCELIFY (Exceed And Excel - Catherine Howard by Kingmambo) and LUCKY JESTER (Pure Theatre - Swiss Cotton by Straight Strike), are both trained by Michael Freedman while Brian Dean has entered LUCKY SUPERSTAR (Lucky Owners - Silkwood Star by Woodman).
