Chris Waller claimed a two-state Group One double in the space of 20 minutes when Foreteller edged out Happy Trails in the Underwood Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday.

After Sacred Falls led home a Waller quinella in the George Main Stakes at Randwick in Sydney, Foreteller joined the party with his narrow Underwood win in Melbourne.

Ridden by Glen Boss, Foreteller ($6.50) saved ground into the straight and came between horses to put a winning stride in close to the line.

The win ended a Group One drought for Boss.

“This is an important race for the spring and it’s an important one for me too,” he said.

“It’s been a long time between drinks for me in a Group One.”

Happy Trails ($10) showed he is on target for another start in the Cox Plate by challenging Foreteller all the way to the wire.

Crackerjack King ($51) gave a strong kick from the front to finish third.

Melbourne Cup favourite The Offer failed to run on and finished with the tailenders.
