N.Z. fillies in V.R.C St Leger
PA Auckland The Sir Tristram fillies, Our Dizzy Heights and Mi Tristena, will be flown to Melbourne today to contest the V.R.C. St Leger at Flemington on Friday. A former Matamata jockey, Gary Willetts, will ride Our Dizzy Heights but no-one has been engaged yet for Mi Tristena. Our Dizzy Heights is trained by Dave O’Sullivan and Mi Tristena by Dorothy Swney. Both are based in Matamata. The fillies last raced in the Ra Ora Great Northern Oaks at Ellerslie on March 31, Our Dizzy Heights finishing second, beaten half a head by Hexagonal, and Mi Tristena fifth. If they run up to expectations on Friday, they will remain in Australia for the South Australian Oaks in Adelaide on May 17.
