2025 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas Results
- 1st: #7 Bosustow ($13)
- 2nd: #2 Give Me Space
- 3rd: #17 Arriving Home
The 2025 Magic Millions 3YO Guineas results at the Gold Coast saw Bosustow, trained by Annabel Neasham and ridden by Josh Parr, enjoy an upset at $13. Parr settled the well-bred colt midfield, three-wide with cover. As they approached the final turn, Parr guided Bosustow into clear galloping room, and the colt displayed an impressive turn of foot. He dashed a length clear inside the final 100 meters and held off a late challenge from Give Me Space to win.
This victory was particularly satisfying for the connections, as Bosustow had been stakes-placed on several occasions prior to this win. The win also boosted Bosustow’s earnings beyond $1.9 million, setting him up for potential Group 1 targets in the future.

A Group 3 winner two back at Newcastle in the Spring Stakes she stepped up in grade and saluted again beating home the boys in the Group 2 Sandown Guineas over the mile in the mud back in November.
