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.
 



Bred and offered for sale by Cressfield, Plagiarized is the second foal and second winner from dual Group I winning sprinter Platelet.

Srcond highest priced yearling at MM 2020.

Cressfield sold a yearling colt by Merchant Navy from Platelet at Magic Millions this year for $100,000 to Next Generation Racing Pty Ltd/Freedman Brothers.

She has an Exceed and excel colt to follow and was covered last spring by All Too Hard.
