Madam Rouge ($4.80) in 2020, Jonker ($4.80 in 2021), Isotope ($2.80F in 2022), and back-to-back champion King Of Sparta ($1.90 in 2023 and $1.55 in 2024) are the latest favourites in Magic Millions Sprint betting to salute for the punters giving the top elects four straight wins.

Madam Rouge (2019-20) was the last sprinter to complete the Christmas Classic – Magic Millions Snippets double.

Runners may back-up out of the Magic Millions Sprint field and contest the Listed Sunshine Coast Cup (1400m) at Caloundra in late January. Scallopini (6th in 2022) was the last Magic Millions Sprint graduate to go on and win the Sunshine Coast Cup.
