Matt Laurie is not complaining about the year, two Group winners, plus a listed success, it does not get much better than that.

Everything began to fall into place when he won the S A J C Derby with Escado and only got better when the half sister, Se Sauver, won the Group 2 Edward Manifold Stakes at Flemington.

Saturday, at Caulfield, was the icing on the cake with Mezeray Miss successful in the Listed City Of Greater Dandenong Stakes.

She is now off to the paddock for a break; she is going out in winning form instead of becoming jaded and crying out for a spell.

That formula is working well for Matt, with the aid of his parents an excellent training setup has been established a quarter of an hour’s drive from the Mornington racecourse.

It is the ideal facility, horses are being prepared in a natural environment with the results achieved to date, the training methods are working well as have shown.

Matt is making steady progress, everything is going to plan, he has a positive attitude towards training, he doesn’t need a big team to get results, a double at the provincials is a reminder he is travelling nicely.
