A treble for Patrick Janssens including the two fastest performers of the night was the takeout story from the first round of the PGR Oaks at Perry Barr on Thursday.

While most attention was on 7-1 ante post favourite Fabulous Azurra who clocked a (then) fastest time of the night, 28.19, it would be kennelmate Slick Sakina who would edge the clock with a 28.17 run. A winner of an unraced stake at Newbridge back in March, under her old name of Tullymurry Faith, the Keith Allsop owned bitch had a 0:4 record going into her heat but was confidently made a 6-4f.
