Undefeated Trio Straddle Millennium Market

A trio of undefeated 2YOs dominate early betting for the $2m Inglis Millennium. The TAB has release an all-in Futures market for the Millennium, which is headed by dominant Inglis Nursery winner Acrobat (pictured) at $2.80. An Easter Yearling Sale graduate from Coolmore, the Ciaron Maher and David Eustace-trained Acrobat (Fastnet Rock) impressed at his sole race start to date, posting a 2.3-length win in December’s Nursery, a race that has produced the likes of She Will Reign, Extreme Choice, Mossfun and Wild Ruler in recent years. Acrobat has been installed favourite ahead of stablemate and Premier Yearling Sale graduate Sneaky Five (Fastnet Rock) and Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr’s Classic Yearling Sale graduate Profiteer (Capitalist), both at $6.00. Sneaky Five burst onto the scene at The Valley on Cox Plate Day, scoring a big debut win in the Inglis Banner before backing that up to claim the $1m Golden Gift at Rosehill in November. Profiteer, meanwhile, couldn’t have been more impressive at his only start to date, winning eased down by almost 3-lengths at Flemington in December. TAB’s Glenn Munsie said, “This Millennium field is shaping as an absolute cracker – five of the top seven in betting are unbeaten so far and the other two have finished second at their only start. The Inglis Millennium has already proved itself one of the best 2YO races in the country in only two years, with the inaugural winner Castelvecchio going onto multiple Group 1 success and now standing as a stallion at Arrowfield Stud, and punters will no doubt get heavily involved again in 2021."
