2017 Magic Millions Barrier Draw

Surfers Paradise was the place to be this morning, with thousands of people hitting the sand for the 2017 Magic Millions Barrier Draw.

Ten of the country’s leading jockeys including Magic Millions Ambassador Kathy O’Hara and Melbourne Cup champion Michelle Payne kicked off the morning with horse sprint down the beach.

Among those taking in all the action was royal Zara Phillips MBE and her husband Mike Tindall, Francesca Cumani, Hamish McLachlan and Magic Millions owners Gerry Harvey and Katie Page-Harvey.

Following the sprint, everyone made their way to the foreshore for the Barrier Draw, which determined the all-important starting positions for Saturday’s multi-million dollar features.
