He is one of the most enduring success stories out of Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale and although he is yet to have a Group 1 victory to his name, Yellow Brick has been nothing less than a legend for father and daughter training partners Tony and Maddysen Sears.

Bought for $20,000 at the Gold Coast sale in 2021, Yellow Brick has earned $3.45 million for the part-family ownership.

The six-year-old's latest win in the Magic Millions QTIS Open under lights at the Magic Millions Gold meeting on Saturday was as exciting as any of his eight other victories in his 27 starts.

It is all set to continue this weekend in the $2 million Magic Millions Cup.

"I'm speechless really," Maddysen Sears said of the performance on Saturday. 

"He did what we expected him to do but to actually do it, yes.

"He has come through it super and you wouldn't even know that he had been around. He bounced onto the track this morning and hasn't missed a grain.

"We were a little but worried with other horses with lighter weights as light weights win races but, on his class, he carried nine kilograms more than the second and third horses.

"I think if the race was a little bit further, he'd probably have put them away even further."

James McDonald was aboard the gelding on Saturday, but Ethan Brown will take the ride this time.

Yellow Brick firmed into $5 and equal favouritism for the race following his latest outing.
