Completing good day for her sire Spirit Of Boom, Outback Barbie finished determinedly to defeat the 4yo Shooting To Win mare Intrepidacious by a short-head with the 4yo Sizzling mare Blazing Miss a further three-quarter of a length back in third.
Outback Barbie advanced her record to five wins, four seconds and six thirds from 32 starts with earnings of $1,574,842, with her fourth stakes success.
“We have been all over the place with her. Her runs in Sydney were good, but things were just not going right for us.” Gollan said.
“When the barrier draw came out on Wednesday I must admit I was kicking cans.
“She hit her customary flat spot and knuckled down late.
“I am so thrilled for her. This is her last preparation and she has been so good to us.”
