    I was there for both her wins, driven by Neville Welsh and trained by Johnny Collins.

    NZ has gone the same way with the Derby and Oaks on the same meeting in December. Amazing Dream will most certainly be the last Oaks / Derby double winner, albeit the Northern Oaks and Derby in 2020.

    Argent stands alone, having completed the double in Vic AND NSW. What a filly! Of course she went on to leave top racehorses and successful sires Gyro, Gyration and Sperry.
