She Can Skate was the pin up girl at Flemington yesterday, as she was at Caulfield two weeks ago, in winning the Listed A R Creswick Stakes down the straight six.

After 30 years training, without a city winner, most would hang the bridle up, but obviously not Geoff Wheeler, it is a great story for a man that has finally gained the recognition that he is entitled to.

Two city wins in a fortnight hasn’t changed Geoff, he is still smiling hail, rain or shine, success has been a long time coming but he has never complained.

She Can Skate is the sort of horse that trainers dream about; when you have a small team you don’t always have that many options.

And the filly has rejuvenated the career of jockey, Reece Wheeler, he is now riding in great form and never been short of ability.

He had the filly in the box seat from the outset; she was on the fence for most of the trip and was always going to be the one to beat.

She will remain in work for the present, most likely she will have another run, possibly at Moonee Valley, before going for a spell.
