Karaka Million winner Dynastic has had an easy time since his huge payday victory but he is spot-on for Sunday's potentially even more important Sistema Stakes.
The juvenile star hasn't raced since landing some huge bets winning the $1 million event on January 22, but is still the favourite for Sunday's $240,000 Group 1 after drawing the ace.
While the Sistema is worth less than a quarter of the Karaka Million stake, it is one of only two Group 1 juvenile races in New Zealand and with Dynastic being a colt by new popular sire Almanzor, a Group 1 for Dynastic could have huge potential payoffs in years to come.
That would also be the case for his six rivals as the males are all colts (not gelded) and the fillies would enormously increase their future broodmare value with a Group 1 juvenile win.
But it is Dynastic who goes into Sunday with the big reputation a Karaka Million win as favourite earns, even though his stablemate Maven Belle is unbeaten in three starts and every other rival has shown enough on occasion to suggest they are up to this level.
