Incredible ride by the one and only Willie Pike to win the last (what's new?) at Flemington on Oaks Day. Great win by Rey Magnerio to bring up 3 winners of the race for Robbie Griffiths (others The Quarterback & Halvorsen).

Is she the next Sheza Alibi? The similarities are striking. A filly - a Townsville winner - THE nursery of great fillies. Time will tell for the daughter of Jonker.

one of the 22 winners bred on a @BlueGumFarm Flying Artie/Zabeel cross... one which has also produced the Hong Kong Gr.1 winner My Wish and the stakes winner Skyglider
🟡🟠Chix (Flying Artie x Noble Creed) makes it back-to-back wins for the girls today at Royal Randwick, taking her record to an impressive 5 wins from just 8 starts with a tough performance under @ZacLloydx.
From the jump, Zac had the mare perfectly positioned in the box seat, allowing her to settle behind the leaders and build momentum. Turning for home, the pair had very little room to work with, but Zac managed to find a narrow gap and get Chix into clear running. The mare showed plenty of determination in the closing stages, getting her nose in front in a tight photo finish.
🎉Congratulations to her connections!
