The Geards have long resisted the temptation to travel interstate with any of their horses, including Geegees Blackflash, who won more than $1 million on home soil.

However Paul Geard revealed at the trophy presentation that he believes Gee Gee Double Dee is good enough to win in Melbourne and he may give her that chance.

Brighton-based trainer Leon Wells confirmed that an interstate campaign is a possibility but not in the short term.

‘‘We’re not looking at going away at the moment but maybe down the track,’’ Wells said.

‘‘I think this filly is good enough to win anywhere -- she’s pretty special.

‘‘She’s a real athlete and a beautiful animal.

‘‘We’ve worked her with some pretty good horses at home and she matches them while still on the bridle.

‘‘But, at the moment, she’s still a baby and learning everything as she goes along.’’

Gee Gee Double Dee won by more than five lengths from two other Geard-owned horses, Gee Gee Royal Miss and Gee Gee Pure Gold, who are both in the care of Wells’ sons Dean and Trent at the family’s Devonport stables.

Jockey Siggy Carr, who is soon to return to Tasmania on a full-time basis after riding successfully in South Australia, gave connections a glowing report on the winner.

Despite the big margin, she said that she believed Gee Gee Double Dee had another four or five lengths up her sleeve.

The Geard family also won Sunday’s main race, the $30,000 Tony Carrick 3YO Vase, with talented sprinter Gee Gee Red Prince.

The Stuart Gandy-trained gelding had a 2.5 kilogram weight advantage over top filly Gee Gees Top Notch and proved too slick over the short 1100-metre course, scoring by two lengths.

I’m Wesley, only just out of maiden class, ran well to finish third, only two lengths from the winner.
