David Hayes put the disappointment of Tawqeet's run in the Melbourne Cup behind him when superstar filly Miss Finland took out the Group One Crown Oaks at Flemington.
"A hamburger with the lot”. That's how trainer David Hayes described Miss Finland after the filly confirmed her reputation as one of Australia's all-time great fillies with an emphatic victory in the $755,000 Group 1 Crown Oaks (2500m).
"She's a 1000-metre winner at Ballarat and now she's winning Group Ones at every distance, she's just a pleasure to have.
Remarkaby, Miss Finland's win was the first Crown Oaks success for Hayes's mighty Lindsay Park training establishment. Both Hayes's father Colin and brother Peter have trained second placegetters in the Oaks but were unable to win the event.
`It's great to win one', Hayes said of the maiden Oaks win. `We've run very close a few ties but to win is a huge thrill.'
Craig Williams says: "I knew [Tuesday Joy would] always be behind me but I was only conscious of my filly and she just raced super.
"I was in second gear and then I pressed the button on the Ferrari and she just went."
"She did no work during the race and she just saved her energy for me."
