Sponsored Content - by Tara Madgwick - Wednesday February 8

The $2million Inglis Millennium (1200m) last year produced a stirring battle with the cream rising to the top and a full field engaged for this year’s edition is sure to unearth some juvenile stars of the future.

The Newhaven Park raised and sold filly Xtravagant Star got the cash last year when prevailing to win over Paris Dior and Sejardan, who both came out and won feature Group II events at their next start.
