She’s Extreme won by a length, over the Richard and Will Freedman-trained Pavitra, with Queen Air (Toronado) running a gallant third, two and a quarter lengths behind the runner – up. She’s Extreme’s jockey Tommy Berry, who won the Champagne Stakes on She’s Extreme and finished second in the Flight Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) earlier this preparation, bided his time behind the leader and eventual runner-up Pavitra (American Pharoah) before taking a narrow gap when Jamie Kah eased off the fence. I’m just rapt for the horse as much as anything.” “Tommy rode her very well and assessed the situation at every turn. “It was the icing on the cake for a very good prep and it’s nice to see her get the right breaks today. “I think she was the right horse to win this race,” Cummings said. “I’m just pleased to have a filly like that to get the recognition, get the Group 1, certainly at Flemington.”īy Newgate Farm’s Extreme Choice (Not A Single Doubt), the sire of eight stakes winners and 34 individual winners from 51 runners, She’s Extreme has been one of her generation’s most consistent and durable fillies, winning the Magic Night Stakes (Gr 3, 1200m) and the Champagne Stakes (Gr 1, 1600m) last season before multiple placings this spring prior to yesterday’s VRC Oaks.Ĭummings elected to bring She’s Extreme to Melbourne after a luckless third in the Spring Champion Stakes (Gr 1, 2000m) at Randwick 12 days ago. But we’ve got a nice filly and a good mob of owners that have been understanding and copped it, not that it’s hard as she’s won over $1.5 million now, so it’s not all pain. “They’re setting a furious pace and for an old guy it is not always simple. “The big thing is to keep up with the kids,” said Cummings, whose other son Edward is also a Group 1-winning trainer. She’s Extreme, now a Group-winning filly from 1200 metres to 2500 metres, also ensured another generation of the famous racing family was on the VRC Oaks honour board, with Cummings joining his grandfather Jim, father Bart and son James, Godolphin Australia’s head trainer, as trainers of VRC Oaks winners. Never one to duck a challenge, trainer Anthony Cummings’ belief in the ability of brilliant filly She’s Extreme (Extreme Choice) to extend her talent to a staying distance was proven correct yesterday, after the three-year-old’s class shone through in the VRC Oaks (Gr 1, 2500m).
