▶The wrap up

As the sun shone through the clouds to reveal a stunning morning at Flemington, 71,825 avid racegoers gave up their day of work to head to Flemington to continue the ‘the celebration that stops a nation™’ on Thursday 8 November 2012 for ‘the ultimate style day’, Crown Oaks Day, where the focus was not only on the fashions but on the fantastic day of racing, namely the Crown Oaks.

A luckless Spring finally reaped feature success for classy Sydney filly Dear Demi in today’s $1 million Crown Oaks at Flemington.

Hall of Fame jockey Jim Cassidy atoned for hard-luck stories in the Thousand Guineas and Wakeful Stakes when he brought the Clarry Conners-trained charge with a powerful finish to outstay favourite Zydeco in the 2500-metre event.

Dear Demi broke a 19-year Oaks drought for Conners, whose previous successes came via Research (1988) and Arborea (1993), while Cassidy’s fifth Oaks success came 22 years after making it four wins in five years aboard Weekend Delight in 1990.

The veteran hoop, who turns 50 in January, left nothing to chance in the Oaks. He snagged back from barrier 12 and sat third-last on the outside before edging around the field approaching the home turn.

Dear Demi cruised towards the leaders with Zydeco at the 400m, after which the favoured duo paired off to fight out the race.

Wakeful Stakes winner Zydeco, who is in her first preparation, stuck with Dear Demi for 150m before Dear Demi’s extra seasoning kicked in, enabling the $5 chance to edge away and score by 1-1/4 lengths from the $2.40 favourite.

The lightly-raced Summerbliss confirmed her standing as a stayer of the future with a stout third placing, 1-3/4 lengths behind Zydeco, at just her third start.

Overall, this was yet another great Crown Oaks Day and racegoers were treated to the high quality racing that they have come to expect of the Melbourne Cup Carnival and at Flemington.
