The five year-old Al Maher gelding won the Group I ATC Epsom Handicap last spring and sprinted brilliantly first up from a spell to win the Group II VRC Gilgai Stakes (1200m) at Flemington last Saturday.

Private Eye was a $66,000 Magic Millions Adelaide purchase for Proven Thoroughbreds/Pride Thoroughbreds and has won over $2.1million in prizemoney.

“A lot of us watched the race last Saturday and thought ‘wow, there's a horse that is going to make a big impression on the race','' Inglis Chief Executive Sebastian Hutch told Racenet.

"But, now the circumstances are entirely different and we are delighted to be going with him.

"What happened with Snapdancer was unfortunate so when a silver lining like a Private Eye comes along it is hard to believe our luck.

"It is great to partner with a fantastic group of people and Jamie Walter of Proven Thoroughbreds is a big client of our business, as is (trainer) Joe Pride.

"Private Eye is a pretty, cool horse and we are delighted to be in a position to be associated with a sprinter that has a proper chance.''
