Warwoven has established himself as top of the pops among the three-year-old ranks with another stallion-making race win, this time in the Group 1 Caulfield Guineas (1600m).

The $2.40 favourite sat one-off the inside in fifth place before committing three wide at the 600m to chase after pacesetter Blind Raise ($3.10).

The frontrunner kicked gamely but was collared by Warwoven passing the 150m, who drew away to win by a length and three-quarters.

It gave the son of Sword Of State a lucrative double after collecting the Group 1 Golden Rose at his previous start.

“He might be a once-in-a-lifetime colt,” his trainer Bjorn Baker said.

Baker was quick to praise the runner-up with that gelding’s trainers rushing to book Jamie Melham for the Cox Plate (2040m) in two weeks where he would carry 49.5kg.

“Blind Raise went enormous,” Baker said.

“He had to absorb a lot of pressure early and we had the gun run.

“I thought halfway down (the straight) maybe we’ve peaked on our run.”

Baker said he would assess Warwoven’s recovery before committing to a Cox Plate appearance, though his rider Rachel King was bullish that he has not yet emptied.

“I’ve certainly never sat on a horse like this and he’s pretty unbelievable,” King said.

“There were a few question marks today. We didn’t know how he’d handle going this way around and Caulfield’s not an easy track to come to, first time Melbourne way (anticlockwise).

“But he’s just got so much class, and he was still arrogant again.

“I know a lot of people said, ‘How can he peak again?’, but I don’t think he has peaked. I think there’s still more there.”

Earlier, boom four-year-old Sheza Alibi ($1.45f) had her colours lowered in the Group 1 Might And Power Stakes (2000m) with Land Legend ($61) delivering a shock result.

Land Legend set a frantic pace, posting the third-fastest time ever at Caulfield in recording his all-the-way victory.

Sheza Alibi surged home from midfield but came up a head short with trainer Peter Moody not disappointed by the outing.

“As long as his (Land Legend’s) a..e points towards the ground, he’ll never beat her again, but he’s had his day in the sun,” Moody said. “That’s life and we’ll bounce back and fight another day.

“It was a tough-run race and all honours to the winner. We weren’t good enough on the day.

“We followed Birdman and unfortunately, he went terrible. We were going to use him to drag us into the race but that it didn’t pan out. But that’s life.”

She will press on to the $10 million Golden Eagle (1500m) in Sydney in three weeks.

Later, Lady Shenandoah ($5.50) overcame a chequered passage under James McDonald to burst through and take the Group 1 Toorak Handicap (1600m), depriving Changing Colours ($8) by a head.

Winning trainer Chris Waller had prepared Changing Colours before joining Lucy Yeomans’ Cranbourne stable and she went into Saturday’s race having won four races on end.

“I’m sorry for spoiling their party because they’ve done a great job with that horse to get it up to Group 1 level,” Waller said.
