The old adage says that as one door closes, another opens. And so it is with the latest Australian sprint sensation. With the great Black Caviar's racing career now consigned to history, all eyes are turned to the next cab off the sprinting ranks. Nobody would for a moment dare to suggest that the new boy on the block, one Lankan Rupee, will in anyway supplant the great mare when it comes to race deeds, but he is never the less, one very talented individual.
Today Lankan Rupee took his recent record to six wins from his last seven starts when he tore apart Australia's premier sprint, the Newmarket Handicap, giving him his second Group 1 success. The two video links are the back to back victories. The first is the 1100m G1 Oakleigh Plate, the latter today's Newmarket.
He's in the bright yellow and red.
