Private Legacy emerges as Queensland Oaks contender

QLD racing News

Greg Hickman, trainer based at Warwick Farm, has disclosed that Private Legacy will bypass Saturday’s Group 1 South Australian Derby (2500m) at Morphettville, opting instead to aim for the Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2400m) during the Queensland winter carnival.

The progeny of The Autumn Sun narrowly missed out on victory against Vibrant Sun in Saturday’s Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m), falling short by the slimmest of margins.

“When you set them for those races and they run a great race like she did you have to be happy,” Hickman conveyed to Racing.com.

“When you’ve been in the game as long as I have you know it’s all a part of it, I’ve been beaten closer than that before.

“She’ll come home and go to Queensland. We’re going to have a go at the Queensland Oaks.

“There isn’t a lot of time really between now and then so we will give her some TLC and she’ll head up for a lead-in run.”
