1965 NZ OAKS
Have Care proved far too good for the rest in the New Zealand Oaks. She lost ground at the start but once balanced she raced into the lead effortlessly with five furlongs to go. About 100 yards out Scotch Cherie looked to have the measure of Have Care, but Scotch Cherie's effort was short-lived and shaken up, Have Care ran right away for the easiest of wins from Scotch Cherie. Belle Luronne tangled slightly at the start but soon caught her gait and was in front after about a furlong and a half.
The hot favourite, Phillmark, was slow away and broke badly after less than a furlong, a lapse that wrote finish to her chance, though she showed fine speed to finish seventh.
