Waterhouse & Bott hold strong hand in Inglis Millennium field
The sixth edition of the Inglis Millennium will be run on Saturday afternoon at Randwick in Sydney, Australia, with a full field of 16 two-year-olds expected to take their place in the A$2 million race.
As a Restricted Listed contest, all the runners must have been purchased from the Inglis sales and nominated for the lucrative Inglis Race Series, worth around $12 million in prize money and bonuses.
With several two-year-old winners hailing from their stable at the back end of 2023 and early in 2024, the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott yard will have two runners compete in this race.

Trunk (+550), who is owned by Yu Long Investments, finished second on debut behind Stay Focused at Geelong on January 6, and he appears to be the Waterhouse & Bott stable’s second seed.
