Miss Finland added another feather to her cap at Caulfield on Saturday 10th March 2007, becoming just the second filly to win the Group 1 Cadbury Guineas (1600m).
Triscay in 1991 was the only filly to have achieved the feat. The boys had their chance to put pay to MIss Finland but couldn't beat the champion filly.
After settling midfield for champion jockey Craig Williams, Miss Finland covered ground around the turn while Kiwi Jokers Wild sprinted for home.
Coming hard down the outside Miss Finalnd loomed up to rein in the leader and held off the last lunge finish of Casino Prince, who saved ground around the turn and sprinted quickly on the inside.
“She did a great job and it was a fantastic ride from Craig,” trainer David Hayes said. “He produced her at the right time. She's probably looking for further and had to sprint with good horses today but was able to beat them.”
“She loved having the bunny in front of her – every time I asked she found a bit more and was always going to get there. She's something special.”
The filly, who has re-written the record books by winning the Golden Slipper, Thousand Guineas and Crown Oaks in the one year, also became just the second horse with Flying Spur, also owned by Arrowfield Stud, to win the Golden Slipper/Guineas double.
