Her victory was celebrated as a significant achievement in her racing career.

Vibrant Sun (2024): Vibrant Sun claimed the Australasian Oaks in 2024, trained by Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr. This filly led all the way to secure her victory, showcasing her speed and determination. Vibrant Sun’s Oaks win was a highlight in a career that promised further success.

Benagil (2025): Glen Thompson’s Victorian raider Benagil continued the excellent record of favourites in the Australasian Oaks when saluting for the punters as the $3.10 favourite off a Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes second. She overcame barrier 13 with last year’s winning hoop, Mark Zahra, successful again with a big late charge to get the job done in style.
