Huge weekend of racing, Imperatriz "solid" in the Newmarket, Lady Laguna a blow out in the Canterbury Stakes, and Celetial Legend broke a 5,033 day Group 1 drought for Les Bridge. The 2yo picture became a bit clearer and we also look forward to other Group 1 markets.

What a delight to see Espiona dual accepted for the Newmarket at Flemington and the Cantebury Stakes at Randwick...give us a chance Chris. The Randwick Guineas is a good contest with plenty on the line for those colts. The 2yo picture right across the country will firm up and there is a ton of cracking races on the undercards in both states. Let's get into it!

WHAT A ROLLCOASTER OF A WEEKEND!? The Group 1s lost their significance (for us at least) when THESECONDATPORTSEA won AGAIN, this time at Eagle Farm. Loyal listeners of the podcast were duly rewarded. For the "bigger" races around the country, gee whiz did second up syndrome strike. Riff Rocket, Learning To Fly, Fangirl and a host of others all victims? The sport of horse racing is so bloody good because we're constantly learning.

HUGE episode, headlined by the almighty return of Thesecondatportsea in the last at Eagle Farm this weekend. She's double figure odds, but we want to see a biblical plunge. 3x Group 1s on the weekend, with the Australian Guineas, Verry Elleegant Stakes and the Surround Stakes being the features. Also excited to see the Golden Slipper favourite Storm Boy return to the track. Plenty to unfold.

What a weekend of racing we have on our hands. A sensational card at Flemington, with the world's best sprinter Imperatriz to brain em in the Lightning Stakes. At Randwick, some of best milers resume in the Apollo stakes, while the undercards at each are world class.

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?
