Jenni's Meadow All Set For G1 Queensland Oaks

Her famous stablemate Pride Of Jenni to carry on racing despite Doomben Cup flop

- 

BRISBANE - An excellent lead-up run on May 24 has given Lindsay Park every indication Jenni's Meadow is one of the horses to beat in the A$700,000 (S$584,000) Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2,200m) at Eagle Farm on June 7.

For all its success in Victoria, the famous Lindsay Park Racing operation - now run by the Hayes brothers, Ben, and twins J.D. and Will - has not yet won a Group 1 race in Queensland since the days of their father, David, and grandfather, Colin.

Jenni's Meadow will spearhead a strong team for the Hayes brothers, on a day where the A$1 million Group 1 Queensland Derby (2,400m), A$1 million Group 1 Kingsford Smith Cup (1,300m) and the Listed Helen Coughlan Stakes (1,200m) will also be run.

Due to the ongoing wet weather and jockeys' concerns over the kickback and poor visibility, authorities decided to postpone the remaining four races - the Queensland Derby, Kingsford Smith Cup, Group 3 Fred Best Classic (1,400m) and Helen Coughlan Stakes - from the Queensland Derby day on May 31.

While three of the races will be run on June 7, the Fred Best Classic will be held at Doomben on June 4.

The Hayes brothers will be represented in all three Group races on June 7, with Rise At Dawn in the Kingsford Smith Cup and filly Chase Your Dreams taking on the boys in the Queensland Derby.

Ben Hayes believes Jenni's Meadow - a daughter of Brutal - has been trained to the minute for the Queensland Oaks off her slashing last-start second to Philia in the Group 2 The Roses (2,000m) at Doomben on May 24.
