The win by Swan Lake in the three-year-old event at Hastings yesterday had her owner, Jen Campin of Chequers Stud, literally screaming.

"I yelled so much in the final stages of the race that I hardly had any voice left afterwards," Campin said.

"It was exciting because it was such a good field of three-year-olds," she said.

"Jim is now going to set her for the 1000 Guineas at Riccarton in November," she said.

Jim Campin, who trains the Green Perfume filly, previously won the 1000 Guineas with Phillipa Rush (1989) and Emerald (1996).

Swan Lake was offered as a yearling at the Karaka sales but failed to make her reserve.

"The buyers didn't want her but I'm happy now to be racing her," Jen Campin said.
