The Hawkes-trained galloper made it two group one wins in the space of a fortnight with victory in the $2 million Caulfield Guineas (1600m) on Saturday.

The Bradleys watched on from home in Wagga as Ole Kirk backed up his Golden Rose win with victory in the time-honoured Guineas.

Bradley, who races the horse alongside colleague and friend Neil Werrett, was thrilled to see Ole Kirk deliver in his target race.

"We always knew he was a good horse. Even as a two-year-old, this is what the Hawkes' do with these colts. Even as a two-year-old they said this is a special colt," Bradley said.

"He won the Talindert first-up, but even before that they said he's not doing anything special on the track but he's doing a lot of stuff special at home. They said just trust us, we'll take our time with him and he'll reward you. And they were spot on.

"They said the Caulfield Guineas would be his race and they done it. (Saturday) was always his grand final day. The Golden Rose on the way through was a bonus.

"All credit to Willie Pike, too. It was a huge ride. I've watched the replay 100 times and I can tell you it was a masterpiece."

It continued a stunning 12 months for Bradley, who was a part owner of last year's Cox Plate winner Lys Gracieux and enjoyed the Everest victory of Yes Yes Yes as breeder of the colt.

Bradley was alongside Werrett in a board room in Tokyo when he first purchased Ole Kirk and has been in the ride from the beginning.

He rates the Guineas alongside his most special moments in racing.

"It rates right up the top. The biggest is probably Foreteller winning his first group one and this rates right up there with that," he said.

"Yes Yes Yes winning the Everest will always be a big day but it was a different kind of satisfaction. (Saturday) would be right up on the top, satisfaction in terms of the horse, he's proven himself and the fact the training effort was to target this race and win it, and it was exactly what happened."

Ole Kirk is now reportedly worth anywhere from $15-40 million as a stallion but Bradley is not concerned.

"As far as what he's worth now, who knows. That's for the studs to decide. We're just taking it easy and we'll see what happens," he said.

"We don't go into it for that, we go into to win races and we love horses, Andrea and I. For the two of us it's all about the horse. If you get a benefit out of it, that's even better."

Ole Kirk will go to the paddock on Monday with the Hawkes team to decide if he returns for one more racing preparation in autumn.
