Alister Clark Stakes success boosts Trevor Rogers courtesy of Roulette King

The highlight of Trevor Rogers' training record came when Roulette King prevailed in the Alister Clark Stakes over 2000m at Caulfield.

As Rogers' eighth Stakes runner, the three-year-old became his breakthrough performer to claim a podium finish in 'Black Type' company.

Following the 2000m Group 2 victory on Saturday, Roulette King's entourage faces decisions on a rest period or pressing on to one of three pending Derbies including the Australian Derby, South Australian Derby or Queensland Derby.

Jamie Mott aboard the $5.50 chance Roulette King produced a powerful finish to collar $81 roughie Savisanta right on the line by a head, as Kaye Jay ($21) trailed by an additional three-quarters of a length for third spot.

"This was his Grand Final. This was the race we set him for," Rogers said.

"We'll get him home and see what happens, but he's a horse for the future so we won't go knocking him around.

"A Derby, they are things we will talk about with Jamie and the owners and how the horse pulls up, but I've got no doubt the horse will pull up well.

"He's just one of those horses. He gets home and just wants to eat, which is a big plus."

Rogers had followed Roulette King's progress since foal stage and stayed composed with the gelding settled midfield-back by Mott.

"I was never worried because Jamie has had a lot to do with the horse," Rogers said.

"When he went out, I said to ride him how you see fit, because you know what you've got.

"I could see him over the back that he had a handful of horse, and he was waiting for a bit of clear air down the running and with the turn of foot he's got, he was always going to be a chance."
