Zaaki Goes Back-To-Back In VRC Champions Stakes At Flemington

Zaaki and Jamie Kah have won the VRC Champions Stakes over 2000m. It is the first Group 1 winner for the Melbourne Cup Carnival. I'm Thunderstruck and Anamoe didn't finish in the top three.

Annabel Neasham has won the Champions Stakes on Zaaki for the second time in her career. Jamie Kah won her second Group 1 of the spring on the same horse. She had won earlier on Coolongatta. The owners of both horses are on VRC board. Annabel and Jamie are very happy with their horses. They were accompanied by their families to do the post-race interview.
