Caulfield Cup and Everest weekend mean we are right in the thick of Spring now! It doesn't yet feel like Spring with the average weather that has been dished up in both states, but that won't deter the World's Best Sprinter. An even Caulfield Cup!
Caulfield Guineas Day is always a highlight and again it delivered in spades on Saturday with the three Group 1 races. It was a blue jackets takeover as they collected four of the ten races, while Tuvula and Fry landed their first big one in the Toorak.
It's one of the best days of the year and it's produced an outstanding card of racing. There are bets to be found left, right and centre - everywhere but Sydney.

Despite no Group 1 racing, the big boys Eduardo, Mr Brightside and Zaaki were out in force over the weekend and they certainly delivered. All that and more on what proved a great weekend of racing.
A golden ticket into the Cox Plate is the prize for the winner of the Feehan, and class horses make their returns all around the country as spring heats up in the first week of September. Mr Brightside, Eduardo and Zaaki just to name a few.

A look back at the weekend that was, race by race at The Valley and a few star performers around the country.
Will Elford joins us on the panel for the first time, and it's fair to say he absolutely smashed it! The good horses are just around the corner...
We caught up local turned Singapore race caller Pat Comerford to hear all about his journey. From Australia to Alice Springs to New Zealand to Kranji - this is one chat you don't want to miss.
The final Group 1 of the season sees the fillies and mares lock horns up north, but the best card of racing could well be out west.
Royal Ascot is the talk of the town this week, but there are still a few decent local races to cover!
