Class act Set For Fame was a star among a day of success for Inglis Premier Sale graduates when she cruised to a dominant first up win at Caulfield on Saturday.

The win gave Inglis graduates three of the first five races on the Caulfield Cup program, following the earlier wins by weanling buys Mr Chard and Alotta Spur.

The Peter Molody-trained Set For Fame was a bargain $75,000 purchase at the 2008 Premier Sale in Melbourne.

The 4YO daughter of exciting sire Reset completed a winning double for the Peter Moody-Luke Nolen combination when beating the boys in the Group 2 Caulfield Sprint (1100m).

Sold by Fulmen Park, she had already racked up $500,000 in earnings and dded another $120,000 to the tally with her third Group 2 success and fourth stakes win this year.

Moody flagged a potential Group One tilt in Perth after the Melbourne carnival.

“We will probably head to Flemington now. What race, I'm not 100 per cent sure, but you never know, she could end up in a race like the Railway Stakes in Perth.”

“She was another one of my team that went through the virus in Sydney,” he said.

“We had to stop, start again and we got a Group 2 out of her. She spelled really well and she's back on top of her game now.”

Consistent mare About Ready (P$40,000 2007 Premier) later completed a two-state stakes double for Premier graduates when winning the Listed Durbridge Stakes in Adelaide.

An Ealing Park graduate, About Ready (More Than Ready-Quiz About) is now the winner of five races in just 13 starts for earnings topping $220,000.

Inglis weanling graduates also continued their run of success with a winning double at the Caulfield Cup meeting.

After the recent G1 wins of star fillies Secret Admirer and Yosei Alotta Spur ($200,000 2008 Australian Weanling & Breeding Stock Sale) made amends for her unlucky fourth at Moonee Valley recently in winning the D'Urban Plate (1400m).

The filly by Jet Spur-Gold Lottey was secured out of the First Season Sire Showcase from the Murulla Stud draft by Mark Pilkington Bloodstock.

“We're looking at a Listed race on Melbourne Cup day, but we'll be realistic. I think she is going to make into a good stakes quality filly. I genuinely believe she's going to be better on top of the ground but we'll take it today,” winning trainer Peter Moody said.

Al Samer colt Mr Chard ($2500 2008 Australian Select Weanling Sale) was rewarded for a near miss last time when winning the Listed Hoyts Food Spices Stakes.

“He's been thereabouts and at Caulfield two runs ago, he had absolutely no luck at all. Every other start this time in he's been fantastic.” trainer Dean Lawson said.

“We'll go to the Carbine Club (at Flemington) in two weeks and then he'll probably have a break. I'm sure he'll be better in the autumn.”
