BMW Caulfield Cup (G1)
It was only three years earlier that the Melbourne Cup winner had come back to win the Caulfield Cup which hadn’t been a common occurrence. This French horse was a genuine stayer but maybe more suited to the 2400m despite being a two mile winner. He was very classy and the way he won was that of a horse who loved the Australian style of racing. The European stayers were winning everything but then he went and drew 18. Craig Williams snagged him out of the gates, he was second last on the fence past post first time. He latched onto Alcopop’s back when the leaders Glencadam Gold and Voila Ici punctured but the SA champ put three lengths on him. However that staying ability rounded him up and he came away. Americain showed he was on track for another tilt at the Melbourne Cup as well with his fourth.
