2018 Caulfield Guineas: The Autumn Sun shines in Spring

3 minute read

A star had been born before but The Autumn Sun proved it in the 2018 Caulfield Guineas at Caulfield on Saturday.

The Autumn Sun was three wide the trip and still drew away by four lengths.

What a horse! The Autumn Sun blows them away in the CAULFIELD GUINEAS.

The Autumn Sun took out his third Group 1 victory in six starts with a highly impressive performance in winning here. He was smartly away but was then caught three wide outside the leading pair (Tavisan and Native Soldier) at a solid early tempo. He went to the front on turning for home and then raced away, despite his difficult trip, to score by four and half-lengths and is clearly a very high quality colt. Vassilator settled in eighth place, tracked wide with cover from the mid-stages, went to third on turning for home and then battled on well for a good second in a really promising effort. The filly Oohood raced back in last place in the 13-horse field, went deep at the home turn and then ran on really well for good third in a very good performance.
