Bel Sprinter is poised and ready to lay the gauntlet down to Black Caviar in the T J Smith Stakes at Randwick, to be run at on Saturday week.

It wasn’t a hard decision to make for trainer, Jason Warren, after the gelding’s outstanding performance in winning the Galaxy at Rosehill last Saturday.

After missing the start by a length and a half, he then had to circle the entire field on the home turn to get a crack at the leaders.

The winning margin was three and a half lengths, plus he ran a blistering race record of 1.02.87.

Bel Sprinter is a renowned first up specialist having won five of his seven wins coming in from a spell.

If he can reproduce that run of last Saturday into the T J Smith against Black Caviar, we are in for a great contest at Randwick.
