Arapaho Miss scores Oaks victory
Three-year-old Arapaho Miss won the $1 million VRC Oaks at Flemington today.
The Pat Carey-trained filly, ridden by Corey Brown, shot clear in the straight less than 200 metres from the post to win the 2,500-metre Group One feature by two lengths.
Serious Speed and Bart Cummings' charge Majorie filled out the minor placings.
Brown said he knew his mount could win if it avoided being boxed in on the straight.
"She travelled really well...once she got a clear run, she was never going to get beaten, she was too good," he said.
The victory gave Carey, who is based in Mornington, his first Group One win.
He also picked up fourth place in the Oaks with Royale Harmony.
In other races on the Flemington program, Lee Freedman's Gamble Me won the Cadbury Stakes (1,200m) and Queen of Queens took out the Moet and Chandon run over 1,700m.
