1/ Massive prizemoney ($10million on one race) does make a difference – look at that crowd! Australia's richest race put Sydney Spring racing front and centre for the very first time.
Apparently there was another meeting on Saturday at Caulfield, who knew?
2/ Snitzel will be the Champion Australian Sire for 2017/2018.
With a $7million buffer over his nearest rival, they might as well engrave that
trophy now and send it over to John Messara and his team at Arrowfield.
3/ James Harron can turn straw into gold. This hard working bloodstock agent found a new way to make money for his clients in choosing Redzel to take up his Everest slot.

Turns out buying fast colts is not the only way to make millions!
4/ Gelding a horse is a game changer. Redzel was gelded after winning just one of his first five starts. In 15 starts since, he has won nine races and finished second four times earning a grand total of $7.1 million.
If gelding can do this for a horse, think what it could do for a man!
5/ Inglis and Magic Millions can both claim the success of Redzel , who was sold first as a weanling by Inglis for $45,000 to Marquee Stud, who put him back through Magic Millions as a yearling (pictured below) where he was bought by Triple Crown syndications for $120,000.
Expect to see a lot of Redzel in sales company promotion from both Inglis and Magic Millions!
