Two feature races were held at Geelong last Saturday night, both
carrying a total purse of $100,000.

The first, for three-year-old filles was won by the top Syndey horse
Ashlees Babe, who is clearly one of Australia's best fillies at the
moment.

The interstate raiders collected the other event, for colts and
geldings, when Albert Kelly was successful.

The other highlight was the incredibly tough staying performance of
Sokyola, who has now won eight races in a row. He ran a mile rate of
1:55.1, a very fast time here down under. He was three wide with 1000
metres to go, before sitting outside the leader for the last half
mile, and fighting back powerfully when headed in the home straight.
The race was over a mile.

Victorian trainers Gary and Debbie Quinlan trained a treble at the
Harold Park meeting in Sydney last Friday night. They were a long way
from home but the lengthy trip was well worth it!
