Refulgent turned in a repeat performance to his previous win at Flemington two weeks ago when he won again at headquarters, on Saturday.

His win in the Slickpix /TVN Silver Bowl Series Final was similar; he takes time to balance up before making a long sustained run that has seen him win twice at Flemington.

He still has a fair way to go to equal his namesake’s record of 13 wins in Queensland, however, on the score of prize money the present Refulgent is a long way ahead after winning just four races.

Bookmakers found it hard to lay anything else but Refulgent, he was the one the punters wanted, it was looked upon as almost a one horse race

The gelding will have another run at the end of the month at Caulfield in a $150,000 race; a decision will then be made in which direction he will take from there.

Refulgent and runner up, Turnitaround, both are by Hard Spun, each is from a daughter of Royal Academy who has proven a source of speed, his son, Bel Esprit, is evidence of that.

Turnitaround maintained his position throughout the race; while the tracks remain rain effected he might be worth a entry in the little black book.
