HISTORY was against a winning return to racing from superstar colt Sepoy at Caulfield yesterday, but, as his trainer Peter Snowden noted, history had not often seen the likes of his magnificent three-year-old.

HISTORY was against a winning return to racing from superstar colt Sepoy at Caulfield yesterday, but, as his trainer Peter Snowden noted, history had not often seen the likes of his magnificent three-year-old. ''What can I say? He's a superhorse,'' Snowden said, reports The Age.
It says: On a day when the Cox Plate's local favourite, Whobegotyou, also made a winning return to the track, Sepoy stole the show as he scored a runaway win in yesterday's Vain Stakes that compared favourably with any of his five wins as a two-year-old. But it was the manner in which Sepoy treated his rivals.
''How he won today is just how I wanted to see him win,'' Snowden said. ''There was a touch of arrogance about it.''
While Sepoy won't win a Cox Plate or a cup, he could be involved with one of the spring's biggest races. He will progress towards next month's group 1 Manikato Stakes at Moonee Valley where he could meet Black Caviar. On yesterday's performance, he might be the horse who could stretch the unbeaten champion.
Whobegotyou took a firm hold on Cox Plate favouritism - in the likely absence of dual winner So You Think - when he produced his trademark finishing burst to take the Group 2 Lawrence Stakes.
