A crack at the $2 million Inglis Millennium (1100m) is on the radar for impressive debut winner Kujenga following her terrific all the way success at Wyong on Saturday.

The Annabel Neasham and Rob Archibald-trained filly made the perfect first impression with a fighting on speed effort to hold off Damien in the Heritage Real Estate 2YO Open (1200m).

It provided English rider Harry Davies with his maiden Australian winner and former star juvenile King’s Legacy first victory as a stallion.

“She was impressive,” Triple Crown Syndications’ director Chris Ward said.

“She has got blistering speed and was entitled to tire late but I thought she showed a lot of tenacity to keep fighting on.

“We were really rapt with it.

“We weren’t sure what to expect really. We knew she would run well but I think she still took a big leap from her trials into the race so we are excited to see what she can do because if she can take another step like that we are certainly cooking with gas.”

Ward was on the Gold Coast shopping for the syndicators latest newest talent at the Magic Millions Sale where Kujenga’s half-sister was sold for $200,000.

Triple Crown look to have picked up a bargain after snapping up Kujenga for $70,000 at the 2024 Inglis Classic Yearling Sale.

It makes Kujenga eligible for next month’s lucrative Inglis Millennium on February 8 at Royal Randwick.

“There is every chance we will look at the (Inglis Millennium),” Ward said.

“He haven’t sat down with Annabel and Rob yet which we will over the next day or so but that race is certainly on the radar.”

Neasham won the Inglis Millennium two years ago with former star juvenile Learning To Fly, which also won a Group 3 Widden Stakes and Group 2 Reisling Stakes during her two-year-old career.

Meanwhile, trainer Joseph Pride revealed plans to target classy stayer Bullets High a crack at stakes company after ending a run of recent placings with a win over 2100m at Wyong.

The Listed Australia Day Cup (2400m) at Warwick Farm on January 27 will be the son of Ace High’s next target in two weeks time.

“He loves Warwick Farm and it has been the plan all preparation to get him to the Australia Day Cup there and that is where we will head next,” Pride said.
