With form around last Saturday’s unbeaten Group 1 Epsom winner Autumn Glow, everything fell into place in Saturday’s $250,000 Group 3 The Nivison (1200m) for Hawkes Racing’s 4yo Written Tycoon mare Gangsta Granny who recorded her first black type victory.

Not only emulating the success of his sire The Autumn Sun by winning the $3m Group 1 MRC Caulfield Guineas (1600m), who could forget the epic battle between Testa Rossa and Autumn Boy’s grandsire Redoute’s Choice in the 1999 running of the time-honoured stallion-making race.
