I'm Foxing continues Rae's fantastic run

Alexander Rae is currently experiencing a remarkable period of success, which extended into Saturday at Caulfield when I'm Foxing outpaced her competitors in the MRC Membership Made Of Moments Handicap (1000m).
Despite securing victories in her last three starts, the I Am Immortal filly was listed at $21 by leading Aussie betting sites under the guidance of Luke Cartwright. She proved far too quick for a competitive field of three-year-old sprinters.
Cartwright immediately took the lead and recorded a commanding 4-1/4 length victory over Street Artist ($6), with Farcited ($12) finishing a further 3/4 of a length behind in third.
Rae has been in fine form recently, achieving nine wins from 29 runners in the past two months, and described having a filly with such significant potential as a thrilling prospect.
"It's really exciting and a great learning curve from my perspective," Rae said.
"I did everything in my power to try and get this filly to switch off and I thought the key to her is going to be holding her up and having her strong late but over the last couple of months, we've just learnt to embrace her speed.
"She's a fast horse. I understand that there's not many of them that can burn the candle at both ends, but she's an extreme talent and her speed is very effective this time of year and it looks like the world's her oyster."
Rae indicated that they would allow things to settle before potentially considering the Listed Lightning Stakes in Adelaide next month.
"We've got the Lightning Stakes in Adelaide at the end of July, but she's just done a remarkable job. We're not going to commit to anything, but off the back of today's performance, she looks like a potential spring filly."
Luke Cartwright has extended his lead in the Melbourne Apprentice Jockey Premiership with his 38th metropolitan success this season, now holding a four-win advantage over Logan Bates, who has 34 wins. Cartwright expressed his admiration for I'm Foxing.
"She's got talent and she knows how to use it," Cartwright said.
"She's got a nice, high cruising speed… from about the 400 (metres) I just let her quicken and when she sprinted, she sprinted very well.
"A very good effort from her and a dominant display."
