The Autumn Sun gave his rivals a sound beating, for those that opposed him in the Caulfield Guineas on Saturday.

It was a highly impressive win by four and a half lengths, however not as impressive as Tulloch, who won the Guineas by eight and a half lengths, but then we haven’t seen another Tulloch as yet, but who knows? Records are made to be broken.

There is no question The Autumn Sun is a very highly talented racehorse, he has now won five races from six starts, and should remain unbeaten.

The Autumn Sun winning the Guineas

He is a super colt; he came into the paddock for the parade without a care in the world, walking close to his attendant the colt was perfectly relaxed, all he wanted to do was to get on with the race, the purpose of being at Caulfield.

The Autumn Sun drew a good gate 5, and made full use of it, perched up on the outside out of trouble, and ready to go at the slightest command.

Once he reached the railway side of the course, he just strode away at his leisure; the race was virtually over from there.

It was certainly the best performance we have seen by a three year old for many a long day, whether we will see him again this spring is unlikely, he is still in the Cox Plate, however, he may be resting in the paddock by then.
