Post-race jockey reports from the 2025 Queensland Oaks

You Wangh pulled out plenty at the business end to claim the $700,000 Group 1 Queensland Oaks (2200m) at Eagle Farm on Saturday. The daughter of So You Think placed three runs back in the Group 1 Australian Oaks before adding Queensland's fillies' feature. You Wangh, ridden by Tommy Berry, defeated Godolphin filly Pinito and Australasian Oaks winner Benagil. The favourite Philia finished eighth. Calling for the win! ðŸ'² You Wahng takes the G1 Queensland Oaks for @Leesracing and @TommyBerry21! @BrisRacingClub @RaceQLD — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) June 7, 2025 The victory was trainer Kris Lees' third Queensland Oaks win, his second win in the race in the past three years. The other winners were Vitesse Dane (2005) and Amokura (2023). The win was You Wangh's third from nine starts and took her earnings to more than $590,000. This is what the riders thought of their mount's performance in the Queensland Oaks. â– â– â– â– â– 1st - YOU WAHNG (Tommy Berry) She was a little bit underdone last start with the let-up between the Sydney Carnival and here. I learned my lesson last start. I got there too early on her. I really timed my run today and lucky she's only half a horse wide because she could take them sticky little tight runs but it's just unbelievable, it's awesome to do it. 2nd - PINITO (Jason Collett) Very brave. She was definitely in for the fight and just missed out. 3rd - BENAGIL (Mark Zahra) She was very stiff, she probably should have won. She just lacks gate speed which meant we ended up on the inside, so we had a few traffic issues before we got clear air. 4th - MOVIN OUT (James McDonald) She was really good, she probably just found the 2200 metres a little bit too far for her. 5th - SHE'S A DEALER (George Rooke) No comment provided. 6th - CHURCHILL'S CHOICE (Koby Jennings) She always hits that flat spot about half a mile out, and today it was a lot more obvious because it was her last run of the prep. But she's going to grow up and get stronger. 7th - AMPLIFY (Ryan Maloney) She began very ordinarily so I wasn't able to use the barrier to my advantage. In a muddling run race, she just got shuffled back too far and when the others started making their runs I had to duck back to the inside, which probably wasn't the place to be today. So I thought she ran quite well considering. 8th - PHILIA (Kerrin McEvoy) I thought she ran well. She began okay but didn't muster as well as I would have liked, so we didn't take up as good a potion as I would've liked. That meant we had to do a bit of work and she was beaten on the corner, but she still stuck on to be beaten not far. So David has done a remarkable job with her. 9th - JENNI'S MEADOW (Ethan Brown) I thought it was a really gallant effort. She probably just over-travelled a fraction throughout, which took away from her finish. So in the circumstances, I thought she stuck on well. 10th - ELLA HAZEL (Joshua Parr) I failed to execute the necessary procedures to win the race. 11th - SUN WORSHIPPER (Angela Jones) It's just a shame that she had a bad gate and we had to settle at the back of the field, we had no chance from the position we were in. 12th - REAL CLASS (Andrew Mallyon) We moved into the race really nicely before we got deleted and didn't get our chance. 13th - SWELTERING (Rachel King) She jumped well to offset the bad gate and travelled well for the first half of the race, before hitting a flat spot. But she still finished off well. 15th - ECLAIR ENCORE (Damien Thornton) She was very disappointing today. 16th - PLEASURE ARTIST (Cejay Graham) I think she's probably just looking for a break now. 17th - SHANGRI LA IMPACT (Tim Clark) It's only her first preparation and it probably all caught up with her today. She's probably come to the end of her prep.
