But there could be more to come judging by Turn Me Loose's dominant Two Thousand Guineas win over nine rivals in the group 1 mile.
The Iffraaj colt was a $52,500 purchase from the Ready To Run sales almost 12 months ago but the $237,500 winner's cheque (minus expenses) will comfortably cover expenses, along with some potential upcoming trips - including one to the home city of his owners.
Turn Me Loose's co-trainer Andrew Forsman said Melbourne certainly loomed as a potential pathway following Saturday's three-length win.
''He's owned in Melbourne so the boys would love to see him race over there, so we'll just see how he comes through this and make further plans into the autumn,'' Forsman, who trains with Murray Baker at Cambridge, said.
Pre-race plans of a midfield position for Turn Me Loose had to be thrown out the window after Vinnie Eagle looked to be getting away with a soft lead, forcing Guineas guru jockey Opie Bosson to roll forward and sit outside the leader.
Bosson, who is now a six-time Guineas-winning jockey after Saturday, was impressed by the way Turn Me Loose responded to the challengers.
''He seemed to have a pretty easy time, but to run 1.35 is still a pretty good effort,'' Bosson said.
''He looked a sitting shot at the top of the straight - a few came out to get him - but he found a good kick.''
The question over whether a Derby distance was possible for Turn Me Loose still hung in the air after the race, although Bosson is comfortable he will get up in distance with more racing under the belt.
''He's still immature and a mile for now would see him out - but as an older, mature horse he will get a middle distance.''
While the Baker/Forsman and Bosson combination are old hands at winning black-type races, She's Insatiable's win in the listed Metropolitan Trophy left her trainer Terrill Charles in tears - but tears of joy.
''I don't have words - I'm just speechless and so emotional,'' Charles said.
Wingatui had been Charles' favourite track until September this year, after he recorded six wins there (along with two at Otago Racing Club meetings at Cromwell) since 2009.
However, her last four wins have come at Riccarton, so a reassessment may be in order.
''It's getting that way now - I've learned how to do it,'' Charles laughed.
Charles and her partner, Peter Corbett, train their team from their property just south of Mt Somers, and take the gallopers to Timaru if they need a track - although that is not often.
''It's just the way we work them - it's hardly any work on the racetrack,'' Corbett said.
''It's just around the farm and on the roads.''
The fact that She's Insatiable could win over 2500m - and is now a live chance for this Saturday's New Zealand Cup - was a surprise in itself, Corbett said.
John Sargent had the horse originally and when Charles was given the horse, she and Corbett were told the Ustinov mare held her breath and could not run further than 1400m.
She's Insatiable also gave Jillian Morris her first black-type victory, and Corbett was thrilled with the 30-year-old's ride.
''I said to Jilly before the race, just back yourself and go with your gut and ride your own race, and she's done it beautiful.''
