Wagga syndicate making big Profit from star colt

Fresh off winning the $2 million Inglis Millennium in impressive fashion at Royal Randwick on Saturday, the son of Capitalist is rated one of the leading contenders for the world's richest two-year-old race - The Golden Slipper.

A group of eight Wagga men, who form Don't Tell The Bride, bought into the colt through syndicator Roll The Dice.

After winning on debut in December, Profiteer justified his $1.75 favouritism to make it two wins from as many starts on Saturday.

Syndicate manager Col Levy is thrilled with how things are panning out.

"It's very exciting," Levy said.

"This is the second horse we've got through Roll The Dice, they are really good to deal with and select very good horses obviously."

Roll The Dice purchased for $165,000 as a yearling before a deal was struck with Newgate Farms during the week.

While the deal will give the stud take full control for all breeding purposes, for now the Don't Tell The Bride syndicate are more than happy to enjoy his success on the track.

"We're still entitled go to all the races, the prizemoney and all the spoils that come with it but it's just when he retires that we are out," Levy said.

"It saves having to negotiate with a stud to try and sell him later so we took the option to let go of the breeding rights now."

Profiteer, who won by over five lengths, will now remain in Sydney to target the Golden Slipper on March 20.

Trainer Mick Price had been contemplating heading back to Victoria for the Blue Diamond before discussions with jockey Nash Rawiller settled on a plan to avoid more travelling.

Meanwhile Mnementh and Another One completed their preparations for the SDRA Country Championships with unplaced efforts in the TAB Highway Handicap on the card.

Mnementh finished fourth after being in a photo finish for second for Albury trainer Mitch Beer.

Wagga trainer Gary Colvin had to settle for sixth with $2.90 favourite Another One after a tardy start.

Murrumbidgee Turf Club holds host to the $150,000 feature on February 27.

They will hold a preview as part of their meeting on Thursday.

Meanwhile Tumbarumba lost their cup meeting for the second year running.

After the town was severely impacted by bushfires last season, this time it was heavy rainfall that wreaked havoc.

There was 104.4 millimetres measured on Saturday morning with stewards deeming the track too wet to race on.

Leeton has secured a non-TAB meeting that was originally set down for Carrathool on February 27.
