Wagga trainer Gary Colvin and connections turned down a lucrative offer from Hong Kong for the promising son of Super One last week.

Another One took his record to two wins from three starts with an impressive first-up victory at Wagga on October 30.

The ease of the three and a half length win prompted an offer from Hong Kong.

"A bloke rang me up and offered me a bit of money," Colvin said.

"We're going to hang onto him. There's a few blokes in him and once you divide it up, you're only going to go and buy another couple of slow horses.

"We decided to race the horse. That's what we're all in it for, to have a bit of fun. It's really good when you get a half decent horse, he should be able to win a few races.

"But that's the gamble you take. You could sell him and get the money, or hang onto him and have a bit of fun. It's all a gamble. I hate to say it, he's a very sound horse but he could break down tomorrow."

Another One will next step out at Rosehill on Saturday November 28 in the $75,000 TAB Highway Class Two Handicap (1200m).

Another good performance there and he will be put away for a tilt at the Country Championships. The $150,000 SDRA Qualifier will be held at Wagga on February 20.

"If he keeps going the way he is, i think we'll definitely be a chance there," Colvin said.

"I think he'll run 1400 no worries at all. We'll give him a run in the Highway and if he runs well in that then we'll probably put him out for a little while then have a go at the Championships."

THERE will be just three Southern District horses in Friday's $100,000 Snake Gully Cup (1400m).

Spunlago will carry the top weight of 62.5 kilograms when he resumed from a spell, while fellow Albury gallopers Sky Call and The Doctor's Son also made the field.

Blaike McDougall (Sausedge) and Jordan Mallyon (Sky Call) are the only two SDRA jockeys to snare rides in the feature race.

Ticket sales are going well for both days of the Snake Gully Cup carnival and will remain open until Thursday.

They can be purchased via snakegullycup.com.au

ALBURY Racing Club is confident The Twilight meeting is here to stay.

Despite the feature race falling over, the race meeting exceeded expectations and is expected to again feature on Albury's racing calendar next year.

"We'll tweak the race next year, in consultation with Racing NSW, to try and get some more numbers but as far as the branding on the day, it went really well, it was successful," chief executive Steve Hetherton said.

"I think there is a desire to have a twilight meeting, something a little bit different. It was well attended, the day worked smoothly and the weather was kind to us.

"The crowd was in excess of what we targeted for the day. I'm a big believer in you can't always do what you've always done because you'll get the same result. This raceday was something Racing NSW proposed to us, whether we'd look at taking it on and we did...and it worked well for both parties. It exceeded our expectations."

ALBURY trainer Mitch Beer is set to tackle the $1 million Hunter (1300m) on Saturday with stable newcomer Redouble.

After running a close second in the Kosciuszko, Redouble will have his second start for Beer at Newcastle.

His task has not been made easy by drawing barrier 15 and apprentice Tom Sherry will take the ride.

It is part of a busy few days for Beer.

On Friday, Beer has two in at Gundagai, including Sky Call in the Snake Gully Cup, while he will also be represented by Bezos at Moonee Valley later that night.

Redouble runs at Newcastle on Saturday, while he also has Snowbella in at Sandown on Saturday. Then on Sunday, he is off to Canberra.

Meantime, Beer's well-performed sprinter Jawwaal will spend the next six months in the paddock recovering from a suspensory ligament surgery.

KOORINGAL Stud stallion The Brothers War has enjoyed his first stakes success as a sire.

Ancestry's win in the listed G.H. Mumm Century Stakes (1000m) at Flemington on Oaks Day was welcomed by Wagga's Kooringal Stud.

Ancestry is the first of The Brothers War's progeny to enjoy success at stakes level.

The most expensive yearling ever sired by The Brothers War, Ancestry was an $80,000 Magic Millions purchase for Dalziel Racing and Peter Moody Racing from the Kooringal Stud draft.

The win took Ancestry's overall record to eight wins from 13 starts and more than $432,000 in prizemoney. The four-year-old is a half brother to group two winner Diamond Tathagata and is the second stakes winner for his dam, Maltese.

Maltese has foaled this spring with a colt by Kooringal Stud stallion Prized Icon.
