Underwood Stakes Day, the day that nearly delivered a Porsche, but in the end I drove home in a moderately priced Australian Car. But that's racing!

Best of the Day, Valentine Miss, did the business for The Racing Insider faithful gaining a narrow split at the 200M mark to reel in I'm A Hussy and claim victory.

Moudre, another best bet spotted the leaders fifteen lengths at the 600M mark and came with a barnstorming finish when just failing to catch Rainbow Styling, also mentioned as one of the main chances in Friday's preview.

However, it was the Play of the Day, Woorim that provided the bittersweet moment. Although finishing third, at the great price of $4.90 a place, Woorim was terribly unlucky after being forced to come out dramatically at the 300M mark to obtain a run. After changing course quickly and losing significant ground the horse regained momentum and only just failed to claim the leaders on the line. An absolute tragedy beaten!

All in all it was a profitable day, although, with a touch of luck could have been a brilliant day. However, Saturday is history, and it's time to find the future winners, the eye-catching runs and the black bookers to back next time they greet the starter.

So You Think is the most exciting horse seen on an Australian racetrack since Makybe Diva, and I heard one punter on Saturday say he is the best horse since Might and Power.

Things didn't go well for So You Think in the Underwood Stakes, he played up at the stalls and then raced ungenerously but still treated the Group One field with absolute contempt. Whobegotyou, and possibly More Joyous, are the only potential roadblocks on the way to back-to-back Cox Plate wins.

Bart Cummings took the quinella in the race with 4YO Mare, Dariana, who rocketed to Caulfield Cup favouritism on the back of her slashing second. She was a dominant winner against the boys in the Queensland Derby over the winter and will be perfectly suited to the 2400M Caulfield Cup.

Shocking was badly held up in the straight but again hit the line very nicely, he is right on track for a second Melbourne Cup.

The big horse, Largo Lad, was forced to race inside horses and became a little unbalanced on straightening when angling for a run, but got going over the final furlong and had an eye-catching run. He will be a force in future races, particularly at Flemington where he is best suited.

Rekindled Interest was never going to be suited in the Guineas Prelude. A get back, run-on horse, he was a hopeless last straightening for home but turned in an eye-catching last 400M, culminating in an astonishing 11.1 second final furlong. An incredible run, and barring incident he and Altius will be fighting out the Victorian Derby.

Toorak Toff lost no respect from his tremendous effort on Saturday. He was ridden a little upside down as a result of jumping well and the way the track was playing, and was subsequently caught three wide facing the breeze the entire race. His effort to stick on in the straight and only get claimed in the shadows of the post was enormous. He is my clear top pick for the Caulfield Guineas and I am more than happy to back him in pre-post markets with great confidence.

Again from the Guineas Prelude, Kudakalari lost no admirers with his run, hitting the line very well. He just looks a classic Bart Cummings staying prospect and once these 3YOs get over the mile, and beyond, I expect him to come into his own.

Like the boys' division, there were some huge runs in the 1000 Guineas Preview, and none were bigger than Group One winner Yosei. The race was run at a dawdling tempo through the first half-mile and, whilst the leaders were having a picnic, Yosei was back a clear last. She and Ringa Ringa Rosie had a bumping duel entering the straight before Yosei balanced up and zoomed down the outside in a brilliant trial for the 1000 Guineas in three weeks time. I wouldn't give up on Ringa Ringa Rosie, it was reported that she struggled to handle the Caulfield track in a gallop last week and she looked uncomfortable in the early stages of the race on Saturday.

Sistine Angel was the other eye-catcher, and in another ten metres she actually goes past the winner, Divorces. She was hopelessly held up back on the rail early in the straight but made substantial ground when managing to get clear galloping room.

The Naturalism Stakes is a key pointer to the Caulfield Cup and in a race run at breakneck speed, it was Moudre who again showed he is very exciting staying prospect. He still needs to qualify for the Caulfield Cup, and trainer Ciaron Maher has stated he may bypass the race in favour of the Melbourne Cup, but either way he will be carrying my money wherever he next turns up.

Exceptionally struggled to stay in touch when the sprint went on, but once he found his rhythm over the final 300M he stretched out and hit the line very nicely. He and Capecover, also doing his best work late, are going to become very competitive over the longer races as the Spring progresses.

Earlier in the day, Altius showed he has all the ability of his famous half siblings, Elvestroem and Haradasun. The race was not run to suit, an absolute Sunday stroll, and Altius was tailed out and failing to respond to Damien Oliver's urgings rounding the home turn. However, like a very good horse he picked up over the last 300M and flew to the line. It was a brilliant run, and he will go close to winning over 2000M next time out.

Red Flair went around at 150/1 and raced three wide on the pace, but had the audacity to fight on for third place. Mares have a habit of holding their form and she will strip a lot fitter for the first up run, one worth following this campaign.

Out of the same race, which was dominated by leaders, the efforts of Happy Hippy (who struggled for a run at the top of the straight) and Majestic Music (a clear last with 400M to go) were very good and both will appreciate stepping up to 1400-1600M.

Rosehill played host to the Group Two Hill Stakes and Gai Waterhouse unearthed another Cups contender with Descerado, who was a brilliant all the way winner. On a track that favoured leaders, Jessicabeel, the 2010 Sydney Cup winner, was hitting the line nicely and is on track for the 3200M on the first Tuesday in November.

Earlier in the day the blueblood colt, Slater, atoned for his first up flop with a devastating turn of foot in coming from the tail of the field before giving his rivals windburn and racing to the easiest of victories. Although only very lightly raced, Slater shows great ability and is only going to improve with further race experience.

Epsom Handicap favourite, Neeson, raced in the Shannon Handicap and was hopelessly blocked for a run in the straight. He can definitely be forgiven that run, however, I was a little disappointed with his sprint to the line once clear, and there is no way I would be racing out to back him at $5 for the Epsom.

Patinack Farm's, Saint Encosta, was the run of the day in Sydney. He missed the start, raced at the tail on a slow pace and struggled to get a run in the early part of the straight before knuckling down to his task and bursting to the finishing line. He is entered for the Caulfield Cup, and while that dream might be a little farfetched, I will be backing him next start over 2000-2400M in similar Company.

Moonee Valley will host its biggest meeting under lights this Friday night with the running of the Group One Manikato Stakes over 1200M. Boom sprinter, Hay List, will be all the rage after his effortless win in the McEwen Stakes while All Silent will be having his first run since the Newmarket in the autumn. The 3YO's will do battle in the Stutt Stakes (1600M) which is a key lead-up to the Caulfield Guineas.
