Prepared by Justin Snaith, Oh Susanna scored a long neck win in the 1400 metre sprint as favourite,

Another freakishly good daughter of Darley's much missed Street Cry, who has also given us Winx, Zenyatta and Stradbroke winner Trekking, Oh Susanna has won six of 14 starts more than justifying the big price paid for her dam Sharp Susan (USA) in 2012.

When US Group II winner Sharp Susan was offered at the 2012 Inglis Australian Broodmare Sale by Tyreel Stud she attracted plenty of global attention with Badgers Bloodstock securing the prized mare for $1,050,000.

Purchased on behalf of South African based Drakenstein Stud, Sharp Susan was sent to stud initially in Australia before being sent to the Northern Hemisphere in 2016.

Foaled and raised at Coolmore before being sent to South Africa as a yearling, Oh Susanna is the best of four winners for Sharp Susan, whose first foal Indiano Jones was Group II placed in the US.
