Tara Madgwick - Friday February 11

Group I ATC Spring Champion Stakes winner Profundo was the top lot at Magic Millions 2020, but the second highest priced offering was an Exceed and Excel colt that sold for $1.8million and he saluted on debut as a gelding at Moonee Valley on Friday night as Plagiarized.

Trained by Chris Waller for Orbis Bloodstock, he started his career with Team Hawkes, but was switched to Waller as were all the Orbis horses last year.

Second in a recent trial at Geelong, he was sent out favourite for the 1200m maiden and got the job done narrowly, scoring by a short half head under Damien Oliver.
