The times have been crunched and here are the standout performances from Caulfield Cup day 2023. The highest rated victory across Randwick and Caulfield was Without A Fight according to ratings experts, Punting Form.

We had two leaders hold on for victory – Wrote To Arartaki and Buffalo River. They used lanes 2 and 1 respectively. All the remaining eight winners used lanes 3+. Only two winners – Without A Fight and Lempicka – were further than 5L off the lead at the 600m. WHO WAS HOT? Training honours went to Flemington horseman Mike Moroney, who saddled up a double courtesy of Coeur Volante and Buffalo River STAR PERFORMERS WITHOUT A FIGHT – 1ST Caulfield Cup Winning time of 2:26.64 is 6.

and DERBY lead-ups – Who rated better? Autumn Angel won the Ethereal Stakes for the fillies in 2:03.56 while Sunsets won the Caulfield Classic for the boys in 2:05.52. The Oaks lead-up was nearly 8 lengths faster than the Derby lead-up. But the difference here was the lead speed. The girls went through their first 1400m 3.1 seconds faster than the boys, who came home their final 600m 1.6 seconds faster than the fillies. What does all this mean? Don’t give up on Riff Rocket.

We expect the Caulfield Cup form to hold up in the coming weeks. Without A Fight and Gold Trip have to be serious Melbourne Cup chances, as does Soulcombe provided he can jump cleanly. He missed the start in the Caulfield Cup by eight lengths yet was only beaten 5.5L. 3YO CLASSICS Assuming they run, we expect Riff Rocket and Tropical Squall to turn the tables and win the Derby and Oaks. Randwick TRACK PATTERN Four leaders held on for victory with lanes 1 to 9 providing all 10 winners.
