STEPARTY STEPS OUT AND WINS AGAIN
September 25, 2023
IT’S becoming fashionable for racing experts to find chinks in the armour of Steparty but once again he shot them down as he kept his undefeated record intact with his victory in the Caulfield Guineas Preview.
Still, the critics came again even after his spectacular win in the Caulfield Guineas Preview.

The most common refrain has been that the Sydney colts and geldings are superior and that could be the case after the outstanding win by Militarize in the Golden Rose.
What does Steparty have to though to be embraced by everyone?
His jockey John Allen admitted after the race that he had dragged Steparty back too far but he was still able to get up and win.
At his previous win at The Valley he shared the lead and sprinted away to win.
His trainer Paul Preusker has said he has never trained a horse who can sprint as fast. He also believes the 1600 metres will be the distance he wants, and he hasn’t ruled out a Cox Plate start.
The bottom line is that he has won his five starts and most of them in a different style.
He will face a significant challenge in Militarize though as he has now won three Group 1 races.
PlayUp has Militarize as $2.70 favourite for the Caulfield Guineas on October 14 with Steparty at $3.70.
