The 1100m juvenile fillies maiden at Warwick Farm on Wednesday featured a bevy of well-bred girls with Chanterelle, the full sister to Magic Millions 2YO classic winner O’Ole, sent off favourite to make a winning debut, but race experience can count for something and it did today.
Chanterelle jumped quickly to take up the lead and gave a good kick on the turn, but moving up to challenge was talented Yes Yes Yes filly Oh Yes She Did.
One of the stars at the official Sydney 2YO trials last spring, Oh Yes She Did ran fourth on debut in the Group III ATC Gimcrack Stakes beaten a length and a half to Shiki and then in two subsequent starts earlier this year performed below par.
Transferred from Mitchell and Desiree Kearney to Peter Snowden, Oh Yes She Did scored a brilliant trial win at Randwick at the start of this month indicating she was back on track and she proved it on race day today.
Ridden by Chad Scofield, Oh Yes She Did stalked Chanterelle all the way and was just a shade too tenacious to the line in scoring by half a length.
"It was good to see her do what she did today because she's been showing us quite a bit at home," Snowden said.
“A beautiful physical type that's a great mover and there was a lot to like about what she did today.
"She can be in a bit of a hurry to do things. She got a bit keen mid race today but then relaxed again and found plenty in what I think was a good race.
"If she comes through today there's no reason why we can't push on and give her another run or two."
A $240,000 Inglis Classic purchase for Kearney Racing / D Springfield from the Tyreel Stud draft, Oh Yes She Did is a full sister to stakes-placed Maili and half-sister to stakes-winner Kalino being the fourth winner from five foals to race from the good producer Lanikai.
A great type as mentioned by Peter Snowden, Oh Yes She Did is the highest priced yearling sold in 2025 by Yes Yes Yes, who is now at Gooree Park Stud.
With over 60 Australian winners this season earning $3.6million, Everest winner Yes Yes Yes is proving a most reliable source of winners and is priced at $16,500 this spring.
