Bjorn Baker and Rachel King combined to win this heat with a fleet footed daughter of first season sire Ole Kirk. Fast to begin, O ‘Ole found the lead quickly and stayed there keeping up a good gallop to the line when ridden along to win by a long neck.

A $325,000 Magic Millions purchase from Gilgai Farm for Bjorn Baker Racing/Clarke Bloodstock Pty Ltd, O’Ole is the fourth foal from Vellor, a winning half-sister by Sepoy to Group II winning juvenile Altar from multiple Group II winner Hosannah. O’Ole was bred by Gilgai Farm, who also bred and  sold her sire Ole Kirk and they will be hoping O’Ole can come out and get some Black Type as they have a yearling full sister at home.
