Herstory turned in a sound performance in winning the Chicquita Handicap, giving her trainer, Peter Moody, a running double, having won the previous race with Il Cavallo.

Whilst she is not likely to emulate the deeds of Chicquita, she is proving a consistent filly, having won three of her 10 starts.

She was bred and offered for sale as a yearling by Canning Downs Stud at Warwick, once owned by Cec Barnes.

Ironically the race following the Chicquita Handicap was the Dalray Handicap, named after a great racehorse and a successful sire, after breaking down in the Carbine Stakes at Flemington; he was purchased by Cec Barnes as a sire for Canning Downs.

Dalray carried the highest weight, above weight for age, as a four year old, to win the Melbourne Cup since Phar Lap.
