The victory at Hollywoodbets Greyville on Sunday of the 3yo World Of Our Own has attracted the attention of the Stipes, who will interview jockey Craig Zackey regarding his ride on the gelding on 2 March.
On Sunday the Stipes reported that World Of Our Own (G Lerena) was selected for the taking of specimens for analysis after his victory in the eighth, a Mile Class 4.

He started at 10-1 on Sunday after finishing over 30 lengths back at his post-maiden effort at Hollywoodbets Scottsville On 2 March. He had won his maiden over Sunday’s course and distance on 20 December 2024.
Trainer Alyson Wright was questioned regarding the improved performance of her charge on Sunday and after receiving no suitable explanation, the Stipes have adjourned to interview Zackey on the previous run.
In that previous run it was reported that Zackey did not persevere with his riding in the concluding stages. Thereafter he reported that this gelding did not stride out freely in the running.
The Veterinary Surgeon was requested to examine and Wright was asked to report back on the condition of World Of Our Own on his return to stables at the time. Nothing was detected subsequently by the Veterinary Surgeon.
For the record, Zackey was stood down after the running of that race with a soft tissue injury.
Have a look at the previous run – World Of Our Own is prominent in third early on in the white, with blue and white sleeves – he loses ground in the straight.
