the George Osborne stable and returned a winner with Linda Meech in the saddle.With two recent trial wins under her belt, Miss Vista led all the way and found the line strongly to win the 1100 metre dash by a long neck.

Retained to race by her breeder Dick Karreman of New Zealand based The Oaks Stud, Miss Vista was foaled here in Australia at his Victorian property Glenfern Park Stud.
By Queensland's favourite son Show a Heart, she is the first winner for Cape Tycoon, a placed Cape Cross (IRE) mare from the family of Group III winner Sam Sung a Song. Cape Tycoon produced consecutive colts by Fighting Sun in the past two years and will foal this spring to Show a Heart.
Miss Vista has lit up social media and developed a cult following thanks to her eye-catching looks, but her ability may well make her far more than a novelty.
