Wavy Girl Shines in Stretch to Win The Azeri
Out at SA, we saw Wasted Away, the winner of the BC Distaff run for the first time in 2025. In the Azeri, we had Wavy Girl, another one that ran in the BC Distaff, make her third start in six weeks. The result: layoff or a busy schedule, it doesn’t matter as they both are winners today.

Electric Blue Is Right at Home at SA; Wins Kilroe Mile
Electric Blue certainly loves it when he ends up at SA, and in the Kilroe Mile, he would make it a perfect 3-for-3 at this race track, with all of those wins being graded victories.

Bigchief Stables Captures SA Handicap with No More Rattle
We haven’t seen a lot of No More Rattle, as the six year old gelding was only making his sixth start since 2022, but he has made the most of the races he has been in.
