History is not on Black Piranha's side to claim the George Main Stakes-Cox Plate double, but that doesn't bother fearless young trainer Con Karakatsanis.

Only the great Kingston Town has won the double in the same season, and he did it twice in 1981 and 1982.

Karakatsanis said Black Piranha had worked well during the week under regular jockey Tye Angland in the build up to his crack at a second Group One win in the George Main (1600m) at Randwick on Saturday.

The Stradbroke Handicap winner will be floated to Caulfield on Tuesday before tackling the Group One Toorak Handicap (1600m) at the same venue on October 10.

Then it's off to Moonee Valley for the Cox Plate (2040m) two weeks later.

"I've only been training for two years. It's a pretty exciting time for me and Tye," Karakatsanis said.

"It's also exciting for the horse, he deserves his chance. If he's good enough, he's good enough, at least we've had a go with him."

TAB Sportsbet has Racing To Win as its dominant $1.90 favourite for the George Main ahead of Onemorenomore ($4.80) while Black Piranha is at $6.

Five-time Group One winner Racing To Win comes into the race after a brilliant victory in the Theo Marks on September 12.

Racing To Win attempted the George Main-Cox Plate double in 2006 but only beat one home at Moonee Valley.

Black Piranha was a solid first-up second to Absolutelyfabulous in the Group Three Cameron Handicap at Newcastle last week.

He carried topweight of 60kg in the Cameron, his first run since winning the Group One Stradbroke (1400m) in June.

"It's where you want him to be going in second-up, he's still got that slight bit of freshness on his side and still got improvement," Karakatsanis said.

"Tye jumped on him this morning (Thursday) and said the horse was feeling fresh and well."

The only time Black Piranha raced over 1600 metres at Randwick was in the Doncaster Handicap in April when he powered home from near last to finish three-quarters of a length second to Vision And Power.

"In the Doncaster there was a field of 19 and there's only 10 in this, there'll be less traffic in the run home," Karakatsanis said.

Karakatsanis said it was great for Sydney racing to have the John O'Shea-trained Racing To Win back to his best.

"It makes for a good spring carnival with horses like him starting to fire," Karakatsanis said.

"It's going to be another great challenge on Saturday but I'm really looking forward to it. He (Black Piranha) can win it.

"It's amazing what a good horse can do for your life and your career, this horse has put Tye and me on the map."
