Her racing silks were different but it was an all too familiar result as More Joyous started her Doncaster Mile campaign on a winning note at Randwick on Saturday.

Sporting a dark blue livery emblazoned with white southern cross stars for the first time, More Joyous made a one-act affair of the $175,000 Breeders Classic (1200m) with a 2-1/2 length romp.

"I think she's the best horse in Australia. She is as good as ever and I'm certain she's going to continue to do these colours very proud," winning jockey Nash Rawiller said.

More Joyous had previously raced in silks her owner John Singleton shared with Gerry Harvey and the colours switch came after they went their separate ways with their involvement in the Magic Millions sales company.

Singleton is no longer part of the Magic Millions scene but his racing interests are certain to prosper as long as More Joyous keeps producing performances like she did in the Group Two feature.

It was enough for trainer Gai Waterhouse to put a start in the Futurity Stakes in a fortnight firmly on the mare's autumn agenda.

"She was absolutely awesome today ... just remarkable," Waterhouse said.

"I'll see how she pulls up and go from there but you just might see her in Melbourne next time."

Singleton's racing and bloodstock manager Duncan Grimley says the weight-for-age Group One at Caulfield has emerged as a logical autumn detour to counter a lack of suitable lead-up races to the Doncaster for the glamour mare.

"Running in mares' handicaps isn't an option anymore because she will get 61kg straight away so the Futurity makes sense," he said.

"She carried 58kg around Caulfield to win the Toorak Handicap in the spring so there's no problems with her handling the track."

With Singleton holidaying in the United States and tuning in to the win via the internet, Grimley took up the cause to extol the virtues of the four-year-old, a $1.5 million earner with 11 wins in 15 starts.

"She is the most talked about horse in Australia for all the wrong reasons," he said.

"It's either that she is too light, she hasn't trialled well enough or some other thing."

He found an ally in Rawiller, who said: "She never puts in in her trials. She leaves it all for race day."

Backed from $1.40 to $1.30, More Joyous posted a result that was as conclusive as it could be for a horse who, to the eye of rival trainers, appeared to have room for serious improvement.

She camped on a strong clip set by stablemate Montana Flyer before exploding to the lead at the 250-metre mark, leaving Graceful Anna ($26) to beat No Evidence Needed ($19) home by a length for second place.

The trouncing was perhaps best summed up by Graceful Anna's young trainer David Pfieffer.

"Finishing second to the best mare in Australia is a bit like a win for us," he said.
