I vaguely remember a news repot about this horse - probably in relation to a no hoper taking on the Grand Annual (the 5500m at Warrnambool won by Commission red in that record).

Suffering from jumps racing withdrawal symptoms this weekend with the cancellation of the Oakbank carnival, so I decided to watch a few of my old VHS tapes of jumps racing from the early-mid 90’s.

Plenty of greats like Sharp As, The Shu, Commission Red & Hip Flask.

But one obscure horse I always enjoyed following back then was Oakleigh Jack. He was unfashionably bred & poorly performed but it always fascinated me that despite being a maiden he often ran in open handicaps on the flat & his jumps races were almost exclusively on metropolitan tracks.

Thought I’d google him & astonished to see low someone started a TBV thread on this horse back in 2008.

Geez, I’d love to have known the full story behind this horse. So if any members know anything about him or trainer RE Simmons, please share.

Amazing how a 47 start maiden from 30 years ago can still be fondly remembered.

OAKLEIGH JACK
25yo ch g Son Of Oz - Field Mist (sire of dam unavailable)

Field Mist was a 1965 chestnut mare  by True Mist (AUS 1957) from Field Shy (AUS 1957 by Golden Field x Unknown).  She had 10 starts winning a Yea Picnic maiden and was four times placed.  

Oakleigh Jack's foaling is uncertain but as his first start was in February 1988 he is certainly older than 25.  35 would be closer to the mark.

Thanks for the research there Tonto!

Looking at the ASB database, Oakleigh Jack is a non-stud book gelding foaled in 1982 & bred by the owner-trainer RE Simmons.

Can you dig up any info on the sire - Son of Oz? Looks like he had only 5 progeny according to ASB.

I do miss the romanticism of the old non-stud book days.
