Robbie Griffiths sounded the message loud and clear, he’s back in town with a winner at Moonee Valley on Friday night, via It Is Written, and a winning double at Caulfield with Floatmyboat and Vain Attraction.

Floatmyboat looks as if he may be the real deal, there was a lot to like about his win, he settled well back in the field but responded quickly when called upon by Craig Newitt, and the gelding had the race shot to pieces within a few strides.

He is quite a promising gelding with a definite future, he is likely to get much further than the 1200 metres of Saturday’s win, he should get at least 1600 metres, he is by Pins who can get a strong miler.

Griffiths has always held a high opinion of the progeny by Pins, he gets a lot of winners, the gelding was purchased in New Zealand for around $80,000 and there were no complaints from the syndicate after the impressive win.

Floatmyboat- An impressive winner at Caulfield

The tempo of Saturday’s D’urban Plate suited Vain Attraction to the letter, coming off the strong pace set by Tariana, she was able to storm home to win in great style, completing a running double for her trainer, Robbie Griffiths.

This was the mare’s third run in since a break, and back to Caulfield where she seldom runs a bad race, this could easily be her best season, she looked a picture and a credit to her trainer.

There will be any amount of suitable races about for her in the coming weeks now she is back in form, and is more than handy at her best.

She has an ideal sprinter’s pedigree being by Bel Esprit, from Centennial, by ever brilliant Centaine, whose dam, Rain Beam ,was by Vain from a daughter of Todman, those pedigrees are part of a great era.
