WE DID IT. Our first winner for the On The Drift stable, in a Saturday Metro grade race. Thesecondatportsea was given an expert ride from Damien Thorton and looked sensational in the yard. Shoutout to Jack Bruce who got the mare prepped up and looking sensational. Here's to a sensational preparation. 

There was also some facinating racing across the country. Waterhouse and Bott & the Snowdens further established themselves as the best trainers of 2yos this season, with Bodyguard braining them at Caulfield, while Fully Lit was far too good in the Millenium. But how impressive was Mr Brightside?

How good is 2yo racing!? Has there been a bigger and more dominant stable of 2yos in history? Waterhouse & Bott have an embarrassment of riches this Autumn - how are these for some threats: Storm Boy, Shangri La Express, Prost, Lady Of Camelot, Espionage, Straight Charge, Anode, Fully Lit, Too Darn Lizzie...they will run top 3 in the Slipper, you better believe that.

Sometimes you have to take your Zou Tiger or Ayrton cash and get out of the Casino. The 2yo picture got a bit more interesting, with the likes of Switzerland and High Octane entering the 2yo feature picture, while El Morzillo put in a fantastic performance up at the Sunshine Coast. We were once again disappointed with a great effort from Counter, while Veight established himself as a genuine Group 1 contender this preparation.
