Travis Noonan believes it is impossible to beat Half Yours in the Caulfield Cup.

RSN’s Travis Noonan has praised Half Yours as the “unbeatable” horse in the Group 1 Caulfield Cup (2400m).

The five-year-old gelding won the Group 3 Naturalism Stakes (2000m) in incredible fashion.

At the 200m, Half Yours bolted home proving that he can handle the 2400m distance of the Caulfield Cup easily.

Prior to the Naturalism Stakes, Travis Noonan claimed that Half Yours would start as favourite in the Caulfield Cup if he won the Group 3 and that is exactly what happened.

The Tony McEvoy trained chestnut is now the $5.50 favourite (on Sportsbet) alongside Buckaroo for the Cup.

“There are receipts out there, we said Half Yours if he won the Naturalism, he’ll go to the Caulfield Cup favourite and that is exactly what he did with a big performance in the Group 3,” Travis told SENTrack and RSN's Correct Weight.

“Half Yours was too good for his opposition in the Naturalism Stakes, he absolutely bolted up in the end.

“The way the race unfolded, Jamie (Melham) must’ve been laughing at the 600m mark because he was just trucking and she just had a great passage up along the inside.

“It was a race that was run at a really good tempo and he’s run the ninth quickest last 200m of the entire day.”

Travis’ brother Nick also admitted that Half Yours now looks like a completely levelled up horse compared to six months ago.

“He might go straight into a Caulfield Cup, maybe they look to give him another lead up run, but he is the favourite now,” Nick said.

“He’s really come on, I remember seeing six months ago and he looks like a different horse now.

“He looks like he’s at this level now, he’s really taken a lot of improvement and the way he handled himself (was incredible).

“He’s gonna have a big impact in the Caulfield Cup. There are no doubts that he is probably the best placed horse right now at the weights.”

Thanks to winning the Naturalism Stakes both Travis and Nick believe that the gelding will receive a weight penalty in the Caulfield Cup.

Travis: “He’s on 51kg in the Caulfield Cup which is the new minimum.”

“What do you think happens from a handicapping perspective?

“Will they be giving them any penalty for winning yesterday.

Nick: “I would imagine he gets some sort of penalty.

“He’d have to.

Travis: “I think the maximum penalty would be a kilogram.”

Even with the predicted extra weight, Travis believes Half Yours is still impossible to beat in the Cup.

“I think he’s unbeatable in the Caulfield Cup,” Travis exclaimed.

“On what he did there yesterday, if he gets a kilogram and he’s on 52kg – he can handle fast speeds, slow speeds, he’s got a turn of foot – gee, he’s gonna be hard to hold out.

Nick couldn’t agree with his brother though, as there are plenty of other horses who could take out the Cup, so Travis doubled down on his claim.

“He’s gonna run a super race, but there is a bit of opposition there,” Nick disagreed.

“Buckaroo ran super yesterday, also Birdman.

“There are a few others there who are putting their hand up.

“Nah, I still stand by it, he is definitely the horse to beat,” Travis said.

“He’s unbeatable in the Caulfield Cup.”
