Victory for an Australian sired horse in the Queensland Derby at Eagle Farm on June 7 would give Australian sired runners the rare feat of taking out every Derby conducted in 2013-14. They have already succeeded in these classics in the racing year in Melbourne, Sydney, Hobart, Perth and Adelaide.

Snitzerland confirmed her position as the top three-year-old sprinting filly in Australia with a gutsy victory against the males in the Group 2 VRC Danehill Stakes at Flemington.
