Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott have dominated two-year-old racing in Sydney this season, but their prospects in Saturday's $2million Inglis Millennium (1200m) at Royal Randwick were dealt a blow when Hellbent colt Fully Lit drew gate 17, while the Ciaron Maher trained Odinson drew ideally in gate 4.
Odinson won the $500,000 Inglis Nursery last December and the two horses he defeated, Beer Baron and Nymphadora, are back for a rematch in the Millennium.
First season sires have a great opportunity to make a splash with the following young sires all represented – Cosmic Force, Yes Yes Yes, Alabama Express, D’Argento, Pierata, Microphone and Too Darn Hot (GB).
