The boom on this bloke is staggering.
If he lives up to it he will be greater than Winx. 8 Starts in Australia for 3 straight wins and yet to miss a place.

Vince Arccardi
'I'd like to back it now': analyst declares Cups starRising star Master Of Wine is capable of winning the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup all in the same year, according to leading sectionals analyst Vince Accardi. The Team Hawkes-trained stayer resumed at Rosehill over 1400 metres on Saturday and won 3.5 lengths eased down in a performance that had Accardi questioning his best distance. "I'm sitting here saying, 'Is this a stayer?'," Accardi said on the Year Round Carnival podcast. "That's what I'm asking myself, 'is he a stayer or have I got something wrong?' "[He's run] 2.2 lengths above IVR benchmark. In its raw sense that doesn't come across as being something that's out of this world but for a horse that's a specialist when you get beyond 2000 metres, to do that first up … I'm asking myself this question." Accardi said the Rupert Legh-owned galloper made a statement in the spring when he won consecutive races in Sydney over 2000 and 2400 metres respectively. "Would a stable like this genuinely aim for let's say a Caulfield Cup [this far out]?" Accardi asked colleague Ralph Horowitz. "I think yes, but there's one pretty big race in John Hawkes' CV he's yet to win. The Melbourne Cup," Horowitz replied. "Could he win a Melbourne Cup, this horse?" Accardi responded: "Ralphy, he's that good." "Not many horses have ever done this but he's good enough to win a Caulfield Cup, a Cox Plate and a Melbourne Cup all in the same year. This horse is serious," he said. "I'd like to back it now [in the Caulfield Cup] and take a risk." Bookmakers have already slashed Master Of Wine's odds for the Cups in the wake of Saturday's victory. The TAB have the five-year-old listed an equal Caulfield Cup favourite at $15 and an equal Melbourne Cup favourite at $18. Sportsbet are still offering $31 and $26 respectively, in from $41 and $51 before Saturday. "I doubt there's very few horses in the world that could beat this in a Melbourne Cup and I'm very confident to say that," Accardi said. "I'm not going to say superstar in the sense that it's a different story if you get a superstar mile race, but once you start to get to 2000 and beyond, super stayer. "We've got a phenomenal horse here who, all things being equal, if the Hawkes camp keep this horse together, you [are] going to go to the counter and collect money." Co-trainer Michael Hawkes said post-race that the stable was aiming at the Cups with the gelding. "This horse's best attribute is he's got the biggest turn of foot and you just saw that," Hawkes said. "As the races get longer it's going to be pretty exciting. "Last time we thought he was a Cups horse and he just fell short because of immaturity. "He will definitely head towards that in the spring. We wanted to give him a light autumn but who knows where he might take us. "The sky is the limit for this horse." |

I was impressed by his form in spring and thought he'd be a definite player this coming spring. But didn't think he'd be winning the way he did over 1400m first up. Definite 'local' chance. Sire is probably the best bred Monsun ever and was a pretty good racehorse.

It was one of the best performances this year, but I think the Parramtta Cup form is just as strong.
You could see before the turn Berry was just hanging on and steering, the horse did all of the effort himself. He will be stepping up in grade but I can see him going through the grades like Maluckyday. Horses like Mustajeer, Eastender, Miss Siska, Kings Will Dream, Shared Ambition, Il Paradiso, Vow And Declare and a few others are high grade, so even though he won well lets see how he backs that up. |

Where to next for him? |

Sounds like you were highly impressed TJM. I’ll defo have to try catch a replay.
Freakish enough to do the Tancred & QE double? Noticed he’s now 7/2 fav on the Tab for the Tancred with Avilius next at 5/1. |

"He may back up next week in the Ranvet. We will see how we go," Hawkes said. "We are leaving every option open, there isn't an option not on the table. How far we get is up to him, but do we go the extra distance or keep him to 2000m? "He was always going to have a light autumn, but there is a Queen Elizabeth around the corner for $4 million. He is a progressive horse and we don't like to get too far ahead of ourselves, but he is pretty exciting."

What did we make of this fellows run on Saturday?
Not far behind Danon Premium, and beat home the two top kiwis. I thought it was a cracking run for his first time in that class, and if the internationals do not show up, he can win the Cox Plate off that run. |

Watch it closely and the jock wasn't appearing to ride to win for fear of impacting the handicap. That was my observation.

I am as cynical as the next person but are they really going to sacrifice $1.1m for potentially harder races down the line ?

He was beaten 5L. What do you want him to do - shoot the first three at the 50m mark?

Just my observation but I believe he moved well to gain a good lane at entry to the straight then surged and made a decision at the 200m judging that he wouldnt pick the winner up to take it easy to the line.

Currently 31st in the OoE... how is he getting in?

Always wary of this stable in this race ever since Railings huge win some time back, big money was won that day and this horse at 11/1 is well in the market for a horse on the cusp, respect imo.

Down to the last week leading into the Melbourne Cup if you are number 33 you are just about getting a start.
The Caulfield Cup is different. These horses below 25 will not make it, unless they win one of those races, or a higher galloper is injured. Personally I think he is about two or three lengths of his autumn performances, which to me says he is better on a wet track. I do not think he is a winning hope unless we get a slow or worse track.

Really needs to be winning this race today to avoid the Spring campaign ambitions being derailed.
Early in this thread articles were spruiking him as good enough to do the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate, Melbourne Cup treble. If he doesn’t win today it’s going to be tough to even qualify for any of those races. So on the assumption that John Hawkes will by necessity have him really tuned up, I think he’ll win today.

Does anyone have stats on Hawkes strike rates in races from say 1000 - 1400 compared to races 2000 - 2400? To me, he is not a trainer of staying horses. Railings and a horse that won a Tancred at huge odds are the only significant wins over a trip that I can remember from the stable.

Toltrice won the triple crown in Vic. he only had his liscence for 5 mins. Runyon , Perth cup, the big O, don't have stats but sprint and stay made no difference to his ability to train rhino.

His record can not be any worse than Kris Lees. That guy could get Makybe Diva to run last at Narrandera picnics race.

According to Andrew Bensley, he’s safely in the field (16th) with the Coongy to come. So.... question asked, and answered.

What do we make of his effort yesterday?
Hard to imagine he would be pressing on to the Melb Cup.

Apart from the fact I think he's been hugely over rated, Wayne did say they'd treated him for a bruised hoof during the week and only reported it to stewards because "it was a Caulfield Cup". Normally we wouldn't

Running a horse outside their normal racing pattern rarely works. I think it can work if the horse has a very light weight & is too offset a bad barrier or track condition but 99/100 i prefer to see them stick to their natural pattern no matter what.
Vow & Declare in last years Melbourne Cup was one of the very few exceptions but had an outside barrier and a very light weight. So You Think in the first of his Cox Plates was another case, a 3yo with a very light weight. Most times you can throw your tickets in the bin before the race is over. Whoever came up with the idea to have Master of Wine on the pace yesterday from an ideal barrier is guilty of stupidity imho. Apparently Craig Williams was riding to instructions??

Caulfield Cup = fail
Cox Plate = fail He’s definately a talented horse but has been massively over rated. Turn him out & start planning a Sydney autumn campaign.
