<li> <b> The huge Caulfield Guineas day was one of the most exciting days of racing in recent times even without the mighty WINX. We saw a superstar colt win the Guineas in The Autumn Sun and an awesome filly Amphitrite drop from the clouds to score in the Thousand Guineas. While in Sydney it was the Everest and a crowd of forty thousand witnessed the awesome Snitzel gelding Redzel win for the second year. While another Snitzel, the entire, Trapeze Artist finished runner up. </b></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">Amphitrite and Sebring </span>-- The Flying Start Syndications filly Amphitrite rocketed home to win the Thousand Guineas after favorite Smart Melody and Thrillstar set a solid pace. This Sebring filly just keeps producing and it would not surprise me if she wins another group one this Spring. I must congratulate caller Matt Hill on some epic calling Saturday and this race was one of his best ! When i spoke to Cameron Bennett from Flying Start Syndications he said, " the Sebrings were targets at the sales for him as they continually produce good earners for his clients. Well Done to all. </b></li>

<li><b><span style="color: red;">Benbatl and Dubawi</span> </b>-- <b>There were plenty of internationals having their lead up runs for the big ones on Saturday. In the Ladbrokes ( Caulfield ) Stakes, Benbatl produced a courageous win after looking as though the other Godolphin horse Blair House was going to run him down. A great ride by Pat Cosgrove for the Saeed Bin Suroor stable as he box seated in the run and this probably was the difference in the end. Never the less I was impressed with the fight of the Dubawi gelding and he could well present some danger to the Queen in the Cox Plate. In the Schillaci Stakes the win of Ball of Muscle gave the stallion, Dubawi a double for the day as he continued his awesome form for the Joe Pride stable with Craig Williams riding in great form . </b></li>

He is by the all conquering stallion Galileo and it could easily be O'brien/ William's, Melbourne Cup again, after this run. The 7 year old gelding <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/big-blue">Big Blue</a> won the St Leger at Randwick and is also by Galileo and has now won three in a row.

The amazing daughter of Street Cry delivered again putting in a memorable performance coming from well back in the field on the turn to record her 28th victory in a row beating her stablemate <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/youngstar">Youngstar</a> in the Turnbull Stakes. The other group one was the Spring Championship Stakes in Sydney and the Smart Missile filly, Maid of Heaven gave Rachel King her first group one of her career.

He is trained in Queensland by Steven O'dea and it is interesting to note that his half sister also trained by O'dea, <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/sesar">Sesar</a> won the group 2 Roman Consul over 1200m later in the day. Sesar is by Sebring and both out of the Street Cry, mare Sarthemore. The heavy conditions would definately of suited.</b><br />
<b>Maid of Heaven -- The Smart Missile filly <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/maid-of-heaven">Maid of Heaven</a> gave Rachel King her first group one success of her career in the Spring Champion Stakes.

After being stuck on the rails most of the way a cool Hugh Bowman had to wait for a passage to present itself and when it did she exploded to grab her stablemate the High Chaparral mare, Youngstar on the post to record her 28th win in a row. </b><br />

The Written Tycoon colt trained by Graham Begg and ridden by Jordy Childs just held on for his fifth victory from six starts. Redoutes Choice may have produced a superstar in The Autumn Sun in Sydney but many winners on the Caulfield card have his DNA like the gelding, <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/spending-to-win">Spending To Win </a>for the Snowden camp who saluted in the 1100m handicap race.

It was a well deserved win for the Queensland trainer Toby Edmonds and ex Victorian jockey, Ryan Maloney. The mare has now won 7 of 15 starts. </b></li>

I think the win of the day other than the queens victory would have to go to Grunt.

<b> The weekends racing was mostly one of upsets with the heavy track at Rosehill in Sydney taking its toll. Trapeze Artist with his 61 kgs got bogged down chasing Home of the Brave while The Autumn Sun looked very unlucky as some great tactical riding by James Mcdonald on <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/tarka">Tarka</a> did a number on Kerrin Mcevoy. In Melbourne the track record of Nature Strip at the Valley was the talking point as he was used up early by Mark Zahra to hold the lead and just held off a strong finish by <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/houtzen">Houtzen</a>. The 1200m of the Everest appears that it may be too far for the star Weir sprinter although Darren Weir has a differing opinion. He believes he will get the trip. </b><br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">Lean Mean Machine and Zoustar </span>-- The Zoustar"s keep performing and <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/lean-mean-machine">Lean Mean Machine</a> could be their new headline act as he glided across the heavy conditions winding his way between his rivals to score an easy victory in the group 2 Run to the Rose. While in the Stan Fox the talented son of Redoutes Choice, <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/the-autumn-sun">Autumn Sun</a> had a luckless run when Tarka and James Mcdonald stole the show over the 1500m. It was definately the ride of the day as james pushed the highly promising The Autumn Sun back into the pocket on turning before making a winning break to nose out Dealmaker. Tarka is by All Too Hard out of a Galileo mare called Gayica. Another group two on the card was the Sheraco Stakes and was won by <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/invincibella">Invincibella</a> who is also out of the Galileo mare in Abscond by I Am Invincible.

Damian is the jockey to follow this spring ! The one that got away from Darren Weir was the group 3 Heath as the Sydneysider Ball of Muscle showed awesome speed too burn his opposition off and although Voodoo Lad came rocketing home over the 1100m it was never in doubt for the eight year old, trained by Joseph Pride. </b></li>

He was able to hold off an unlucky Dixie Blossoms who fired in a unsuccessful protest. There are talks about the camp targeting the Japan Cup with him. The win of <span style="color: black;"><a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/unforgotten">Unforgotten </a>in the Group 2 1600m Chelmsford Stakes gave the Waller /Fastnet Rock combo a double at Randwick .

In the Mckenzie Stakes for three year olds we could have been seeing our next star as Brutal put the others to the sword with a powerful finish. His win against the bias gives every indication that 1600m of the Caulfield Guineas would be right up his alley. While Faatinah in the Carlyon Stakes for the Hayes/Dabernig stable has returned in great shape from his trip earlier this year, to Dubai. In Adelaide the last three races were won by the Ambidexters with the win by <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/dexelation">Dexelation</a> in the last giving her four wins in succession. A Commands stallion that should be watched.</b><br />

<li><b><span style="color: red;">Brutal and the Valley </span></b>-- <b><a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/brutal">Brutal</a>, the Hawkes trained colt by O'reilly could easily prove himself one of the best this Spring if yesterdays strong win against the bias is any guide. Jockey Dwayne Dunn positioned him just off the leaders and was troubled a bit on the turns but the colt showed a strong will to win when pushed out. I think he could definately get the 1600m trip of the Caulfield Guineas, if they head that way. </b></li>

<b><span style="color: red;">Winx and Randwick </span>-- The mighty mare Winx put her opposition to the sword once again in the group one race named after her on Saturday.The Waller camp certainly has her in top order and a fourth Cox Plate looks well on the cards. I found the most impressive part of her victory was the way she pulled clear the last 100m. There looked to be plenty in reserve and that awesome motor of hers seem to have another gear to spare. Honestly if they went another 200m she could have won by 4 or 5 times today's margin. <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/fiesta">Fiesta</a> another Chris Waller trained galloper won the group 2 Silver Shadow Stakes. Ridden by Keiron Mcevoy the filly finished strongly to record her second first up victory from seven starts.While <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/le-romain">Le Romain</a> got back in the winners circle in the 1200m group 3 Show County Quality.

They love to roll at their own strong pace and even though last start it came undone as he was attacked in front. Today worked out perfectly for Ethan Brown and when he gave the gelding a kick halfway down the straight you knew they were going to struggle to get past this quality horse. Emshally at Kembla was another winner on the day for the breed. </b></li>

<li><b><span style="color: red;"> Other Results </span>--Serenade the Stars won the 2500m benchmark 90 race with a strong finish for the Gelagotis team. The gelding by Sea The Stars gave that stallion a hemisphere double with the filly, Sea Of Class winning the group one Irish Oaks. <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/brave-song"> Brave Song's</a> win down the straight is worth mentioning as under strong riding he responded to just score. The three year old colt by the Fastnet Rock stallion Your Song is trained by the Snowdens and the breed tend to get alot of winners north of the border but this is a rare win at headquarters. He could be a good one. <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/invincible-al">Invincible Al </a>won the last race on the Flemington card for the I Am Invincibles and Patrick Payne.

<b><span style="color: red;">Snitzel </span><span style="color: red;">and Lope De Vega</span></b> -- <b>It
was good to see <a href="https://www.racing.com/horses/miles-of-krishan">Miles of Krishan</a> salute on Saturday. She has always
been a talented Snitzel mare but draws wide so often, which tends to take
the sting, out of her finish. Young Fred Kersley just got enough out of
her, to secure victory, for the Hayes/Dabernig team. Later in the day, in
the Provincial Plate, it was a Snitzel quinella and both the winner
<a href="https://www.racing.com/horses/silentz">Silentz</a> and runner up <a href="https://www.racing.com/horses/another-coldie">Another Coldie</a> are trained by Darren Weir. The
later is another that does'nt have the best of luck with draws and I can
see another victory, for the gelding, shortly. A great ride by Dean
Yendal on the winner. He just sat on the back of his stablemate and when
he sprinted, that was the end of the race.</b><b> The Lope De Vega three year old filly, Remember the Name, scored another victory for Damien Oliver and Danny O'brien at headquarters. While another of the breed was successful in the Sunshine State with the group 3 2200m Tatts Cup going to Divine Unicorn. Ridden by veteran jockey Jim Byrne he
defeated, last weeks Ipswich Cup winner, Tradesman. </b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">So You Think </span></b>-- <b>We had a heavy track at Randwick for saturdays racing and of note, was a double, by So You Think progeny. The High Chaparral stallion's sons and daughters are quite capable in the wet and I notice they do go alright first and especially second up ! A good ride and plenty of faith by jockey, Kathy O'hara secured a win for <a href="https://www.racenet.com.au/horse/you-make-me-smile">You Make Me Smile</a> in the BM 80 for 3yo's. He was a $10,000 dollar purchase for the Rockhampton Jockey Club and has now won $112,000 in prizemoney.

<b> The weekend bought us some Autumn Sun and overseas success for the Australian bred horses. There are two of Danehill sons who are shining a bright light for our industry, right now. Fastnet Rock who was foaled in 2001 and the old man, Redoutes Choice a 1996 foal who with his sons Snitzel,Not A Single Doubt,Stratum, Master of Design and others are leaving winners everywhere like yesterdays group one, Singapore's Kranji Mile with Southern Legend. In Ireland it was the 27 million dollar colt, Merchant Navy by Fastnet Rock who scored easily in the Group 2 Greenland Stakes. Their clans got plenty of winners in Australia to add to the International success. </b><br />
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">Autumn Sun </span></b>-- <b>The son of Redoutes Choice kept his unbeaten record in tact, with an easy win, in the 1400m opener at Randwick. The Waller, trained two year old colt cruised to victory under jockey Brendan Avdulla and is how heading to the Group 1 J.J.Atkins in Brisbane on June 9th. He is out of the Galileo mare, Azmiyna.

She always gives a hundred per cent and today it was enough with Redzel setting the pace of the race.English's jockey, Tim Clarke had her positioned to get the run on the fence and when he asked her to go she give plenty and held off the late finish, from Impending. She is one of only a few Encosta De Lago's still racing and a tilt at the 13 million Everest is on the cards.This took Encosta De Lago's progeny to 114 stakes winners with a total of 1136 individual winners.Which includes the champion filly Alinghi, the grey flash Chautauqua,Hong Kong's champ Sacred Kingdom and the promising stallion Manhattan Rain. </b></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><b><span style="color: red;">Wanted</span> </b>-- <b>The Fastnet Rock, stallion had his first group one winner on the weekend with Leicester exploding away for an easy win in the SA Derby. The breed are very adaptable to most distances and conditions but with Leicester being out of the Galileo mare Maybe it points to a good staying career for this colt. I have also noticed a strong presence of wet trackers on the dam Fragmentations side with both Snippets and Plush so i would say the sting out of the ground helped Saturday as well.</b></li>

<li> <b><span style="color: red;">Snitzel and Sopressa </span></b>-- <b> The Adelaide carnival got under way on the weekend with a double to Snitzel beginning with the Group 3 McKay Stakes and victory, to the Hawkes trained, Sprightly Lass who now has a record of 6 wins of 8 starts. She sat wide all the way with Dwayne Dunn riding and was still able to forge clear. She could easily have an unbeaten record. Then in the Queen of the South Group 2, the mare French Emotion gave <a href="https://www.breednet.com.au/sire/snitzel">Snitzel</a> 40 stakes winners for the season when she was able to get the job done again and make it two wins straight. The Group 1 2000m South Australian Oaks saw the <a href="https://www.breednet.com.au/sire/so-you-think">So You Think </a>filly, Sopressa record her first Group one and jockey Harry Coffey''s first as well. A memorable moment for the young man who suffers from cystic fibrosis. The owners Danny and Diane Molloy had given him the mount through the urgence of trainer Darren Weir and were rewarded for their faith as Sopressa sat on the speed and hung on to score for Harry.</b></li>

Winning isn't everything but wanting to win is and two half brothers, Redoutes Choice and Manhattan Rain progeny seem to have that in them. Whether it be their direct descendants or through sons and daughters. <br />
<b><span style="color: red;">At Caulfield</span></b> , Gai Waterhouse and
Adrian Bott combined for the second time this week with a horse by <a href="http://www.bluegumfarm.com.au/stallions/manhattan-rain">Blue Gum Farm</a> based stallion, Manhattan Rain to win a stakes race, with 2YO
filly <b><span style="color: red;">Let Me Sleep On It</span></b>, winning the Listed Redoute's Choice Stakes over
1200m at Caulfield.While earlier this week Runaway did just that in the 2600m, St
Leger at Flemington. Another great front running ride by Stevie Baster who completed a race to
race double in the next as <b><span style="color: red;">Written Choice </span></b>who is by Written Tycoon out of the Redoutes Choice
mare Rate the Choice won the benchmark 70 over 1100m.<br />

Encosta De Lago/Shanthas Choice Manhattan Rain/ Dynamic Flyer <br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Hawkesbury </span></b> -- In the listed Hawkesbury Rush victory went to the Redoutes Choice colt, <b><span style="color: red;">Glenall</span></b>.Trainer Michael Hawkes said ''being back in familiar surroundings played a key role in Glenall’s first black type triumph after a Melbourne campaign''.“It’s just a change of environment back to Sydney, the horse has always had ability, he’s always shown that. “He’s a Redoute’s Choice so we’ve always tried to chase the black-type and the Group races with him. It was a great ride. ”Brenton took the bull by the horns and jumped him out and put him in a nice position. He helped him balance and really get the best out of him,” <br />
The Hawkesbury Cup Group 3 was won by <b><span style="color: red;">Kingsguard</span></b>. While the Guineas was won by the Fastnet Rock gelding <b><span style="color: red;">Sambro </span></b>trained by Chris Waller out of the Encosta De Lago, mare Eau De Joie.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">At Morphetville</span></b> in the group 3 Breeders Stakes. The Stratum gelding, <b><span style="color: red;">Tequila Time</span></b> became the 39th stakes winner for the son of Redoutes Choice, which includes 14 black type winners since he died. His Group One victors have been Takedown, Stratum Star and Miss
Wilson, who captured the New Zealand Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes
earlier this month. Tequila Time is out of the Encosta De Lago mare, El Milagro. Runner up was by another of Redoutes sons, Not a Single Doubt called Fundamentalist. <a href="http://widden.com/">Widden Stud,</a> which stood Stratum throughout his illustrious career, will be hoping that the dual Group One winning, Stratum Star, can follow in his dads steps after joining the roster last spring and covering 116 mares. Race caller Terry McAuliffe is a member of the Beer and Skittles group which part owns the speedy youngster . Tequila Time held on gamely where it counted and “lick, sip, suck it’s Tequila Time” was Tery's call as he crossed the line.Trainer, Leon Macdonald was impressed with the performance. Macdonald has saddled up many a Group One winner in the past Gold Guru, Rebel Raider and Umrum among them and he now has another shining star .<br />
<b><span style="color: red;">Steel Frost</span></b> won the Listed City of Adelaide Hcp over 1400m he is by Byannbos Gift who is by Zabeel . Strange to see him performimg so well at the shorter trips. He is out of the Commands mare Horshoe. Group 3 Chairmans Stakes won by <b><span style="color: red;">Leicester </span></b>the son of Fastnet Rock stallion Wanted out of a Galileo mare. He stands at <a href="http://www.clearmountainstud.com.au/stallions/wanted/">Clear Mountain Stud </a> and is by the Snippets mare Fragmentation.<br />
The other listed race on the day was the Nitschke Stakes and it was won by Peaceful State. An Animal Kingdom colt trained by Darren Weir and ridden by John Allen.<br />
