Champion jockey James McDonald has taken out a Classic double during Melbourne Cup week, guiding Godolphin filly Zardozi to an easy win at Flemington. McDonald won the Group 1 Victoria Derby aboard Riff Rocket on the opening day of the four-day Carnival and returned on Thursday to score aboard Zardozi for James Cummings in the Group 1 VRC Oaks for the three-year-old fillies.
Without A Fight wins thrilling Melbourne Cup. Sent off the $2.70 favourite, Zardozi scored a two-and-a-quarter length win from Aethelflaed with Basilinna a further fourth lengths away third. “Derbies and Oaks, there’s something special about them,” McDonald said. “I’ve never won a VRC Oaks and it’s a test of training ability, horse power and obviously you’ve got to execute pretty well because they’re immature still. “My trainer’s a freak. “He just set this horse for this race, and it’s paid off.
