Recent Caulfield Sprint winners
-
Jye McNeil and Asfoora ($4.40) managed to lead all the way to win the Group 2 Caulfield Sprint over 1000m, giving Asfoora her first Group win of her career. Asfoora led from barrier to finish post, beating the fast finishing Kallos ($7) and Generation ($8). The Henry Dwyer-trained mare jumped at $4.40 and was never in any serious threat of losing the race as Jye McNeil gave her an outstanding front running ride.
-
Having been overhauled late in the Group 3 Heath 1100 the start prior, the Peter Moody-trained Oxley Road ($4) returned to the winners stall in the Caulfield Sprint. Having settled on the leaders heels from barrier three, Blaike McDougall and Oxley Road managed to stalk the speed throughout. As the leader’s edged off the fence, the run appeared for Oxley Road and with a swift turn of foot, he managed to haul in market fancy Malkovich ($4.80) in the shadows of the winning post.
-
Danny O’Brien bred Graff and had always followed the enigmatic sprinter but it was only when the horse turned five that he had the chance to train him. And O’Brien looked to have unlocked the key to Graff later in life as he made a successful debut for the stable, taking out the Group Two Caulfield Sprint (1000m) to score his first win in over two years. O’Brien said he and jockey Damien Oliver hatched a plan where they would ride Graff quietly and then unleash his sprint and it worked to perfection. Graff ($9) defeated Fabergino ($8) by 1.25 lengths with Crystal Dreamer ($41) a half-head away in third.
-
Following a runner-up effort behind Nature Strip in the Group 1 Moir Stakes (1000m), the Shaun Dwyer-trained Miss Leonidas went one better in the Caulfield Sprint. Jumping straight to the front under Stephen Baster, Miss Leonidas, the $3.90 equal favourite, held off fellow equal favourite God Of Thunder by a half-length with Malibu Style ($11) a long-head away third in what would be Miss Leonidas’ last run for the spring.
