“There’s plenty of clauses there for us,” Travaglia said of the decision to sell the stud rights to Newgate before Saturday.
“We’ve done really well out of the deal and if he lives up to his potential we’ll continue to do really well.
“[Newgate boss] Henry [Field] has obviously done well as well.
“He’s won a two-year-old race at Flemington and now a restricted race, so he’s still got to do it from Henry’s point of view, but he’s pretty happy today.
“There’s plenty to come if he can win the Slipper.”
A trip to Melbourne for the Blue Diamond, however, is no longer on the table. It was once a thought the horse could compete in both feature events, but after Saturday’s devastating win, trainers Mick Price and Michael Kent Junior are likely to keep the colt in Sydney.
“I spoke to Mick quickly this morning,” Travaglia said. “The horse generally eats up really well during the week but he left a little bit this morning; he didn’t leave much out on the track there yesterday, so you’ve got to choose.
“You can’t do both I would have thought, it’s just too hard, and with a two-week lead-up to the Diamond, initially that was our plan but the horse is up here and he’s really happy up here, so that’s the plan for sure.”
Having sought feedback from respected form analyst Deane Lester on Sunday morning, Travaglia said Profiteer had to improve a little more if he is to win the time-honoured Slipper.
“I’ve spoken to Deane Lester this morning, who helps us out a little bit,” he said.
“We kind of really value his opinion, and he sent us a message and thought the Flemington win rated better than that win yesterday.
“He’s going to have to learn to settle and harness that [energy] a little bit. He’ll take a lot of benefit [from that run]. But the thing with him is he puts himself on speed and takes a bit of luck out of it.”
