Serious Speed upstaged the favourite’s El Daana, Jestatune and Absolut Glam and became the first late entry to win the Thousand Guineas at Caulfield yesterday.
Trainer Leon Macdonald said Serious Speed was not nominated for the $1 million VRC Oaks (2500m), however there is provision for Serious Speed to get into the Oaks as a late entry at a cost of $55,000 which must be paid by November 1.
