Despite all the other excitements at Borrowdale Park on the day of the OK Grand Challenge, New Galaxy’s victory in the 1600m Fillies Classic should not be overlooked.

The Fillies Classic is for three-year-old fillies and it is the first leg of Zimbabwe’s Triple Tiara. Next up should be the 1800m Silver Slipper, followed by the 2000m Zimbabwe Oaks. The 2023/4 racing season ends on the 31st of July so there is not much time to fit the remaining two legs in.

New Galaxy was having her sixth start on the 8th of June, and she is now a two-time winner. By New Predator (AUS) and bred by Tawny Syndicate, she is owned by Mesdames A G Mason, Edith Tapfuma, S P Moyo and Mr G Tafeni, Messrs D T Machingaidze and Dr Ronald Mhizha. Corne Orffer was on board the filly in the Fillies Classic, and she is trained by Thomas Mason.

Congratulations everyone!
