Ready to kill the golden goose? There's talk that Gold Coast will lose the Magic Millions to another track, possibly even an interstate venue...Gold Coast Turf Club Chairman Hoss Heinrich isn't happy about the rumors.

Hoss says: 'Harvey and Singleton say our facilities aren't up to scratch and turn off the serious thoroughbred buyers, while at the same time they've invested very little on their own tin shed saleyards the whole time they've owned them...Magic Millions was created on the Gold Coast to make the most of the surf, sun and unique Christmas-New Year holiday atmosphere and any move will be akin to moving the Melbourne Cup to Alice Springs.'

The horse is a living legend and if anything he is getting better and better...The Golden Jubilee will be the seventh Royal Ascot race he has contested in four visits and so far he has never been out of the first four.'
