Unbeaten filly Military Rose can end a home- track hoodoo and fulfil a career ambition for trainer Gillian Heinrich in the $2 million Magic Millions Classic at the Gold Coast today.

Local hero Snippets won the inaugural Magic Millions in 1987 and remains the only Gold Coast-trained galloper to win the glamour juvenile race.

Snippets was trained by Sally Rogers and was the only horse she had in work.

Heinrich has never even had a placegetter in the Magic Millions but said she has never saddled up a better winning chance than Military Rose.

"This filly is definitely the best live chance I've ever had," Heinrich said.

Definitely one of the top chances in the race

Didn't expect her to win that easily
Well done connections!

Interestingly, Military Rose's half-sister was put up for sale, prior to Military Rose's win on the weekend, & passed in at $90,000. Up for sale again this week, purchased for $150,000.

They paid $155,000 for Military Rose
Given what she has already earned & may earn
$150,000 for the half-sister could easily turn out to be a real bargain
