Typhoon triumphs

Typhoon Tracy has proven her mettle by taking out the Futurity Stakes (1600m) by two lengths at Caulfield on Saturday.
The clear pre-race favourite was paying $1.50 in the lead-up and looked largely untroubled as she cleared away from the rest of the field in the home straight to win comfortably from Dao Dao ($2.80) and Sniper's Bullet ($2.20).
The Peter Moody-trained horse looked comfortable from the outset, sitting just off the pace even as the tempo slowed at the 700m mark.
But as they turned into the straight Typhoon Tracey showed her true class to blow away her weight-for-age rivals and notch up another group one win for jockey Luke Nolen.
