SEPOY'S total domination of yesterday's $1 million Blue Diamond Stakes at Caulfield surprised even the youngster's trainer, Peter Snowden, reports The Sunday Age.
It says: As Snowden went to receive his trophy for winning Victoria's most important two-year-old race, emotion got the better of the Sydney horseman.
''This means a lot to me,'' he said. ''It's a very big day for our operation, we work towards these things and that's what we're all about...We are expected to do what we've done today but it only comes from an army of people that are part of this stable.''
As thoughts turned to Australia's biggest two-year-old prize, the Golden Slipper Stakes, Snowden admitted that the strong Sepoy was indeed better than he had first thought. ''I was quite surprised the way he won today,'' he said.
And so he should have been. Sepoy spaced his rivals by 4¢ lengths running one minute 8.55 seconds and was hardly called on by jockey Kerrin McEvoy.
As bookmakers rushed to slash Sepoy's price for the Golden Slipper, Snowden explained that it would be a measured approach to the big Rosehill race on April 2.
