Newthinginthong taken to win Oaks Stakes

In the end, however, the Gleneagle Stakes winner Newthinginthong should prevail in this 1800 metres heat for West Indies-bred three-year-old fillies with a total purse of $150,000.

Now trained by Dr Anthony Griffith and owned by Brian Thomas, Newthinginthong was a comfortable twolength winner of the 1750 Gleneagle and should readily get the added 50 metres of the Oaks.

But Final Effort has been quietly coming into her own, having won her last two starts including a threelength victory over older horses in a 1600 metres event on Gleneagle day.

Both Saint Honey and Embrace The Storm have been specially prepared for the Oaks and must be respected along with Rocket Princess.

Hi5 hunters will have a carryover of $63,294.00 added to a single winner bonus of $21,397.93 to go for in the day;’s fifth race of an attractive eight-race programme Today’s first race is timed to start at 1 pm.
