Crown VRC Oaks 2014: Set Square claims Oaks on the back of remarkable Ciaron Maher training feat Set Square has won the Group one million-dollar Crown Oaks at Flemington to give jockey Hugh Bowman his second Oaks victory. Hugh Bowman pilots Set Square to victory in the Crown VRC Oaks. YOUNG Victorian trainer Ciaron Maher notched his second Group 1 winner and achieved a remarkable feat when three-year-old filly Set Square won the Crown Oaks at her fourth start and in her first preparation. The win vindicated the decision by Set Square's connections to pay the $55,000 late entry fee for the Crown Oaks. Hugh Bowman's signature gesture as Set Square comfortably wins the Crown Oaks. Maher said he always knew Set Square had ability but she had surprised him by how far she had progressed this campaign. Set Square was brilliantly ridden by Hugh Bowman, who positioned her in fifth place for most of the race before timing his run to perfection. It was Bowman's second Oaks win as he also won on Samantha Miss in 2008. Set Square outstayed her rivals in the closing stages to win comfortably over Thunder Lady and Golconda. Easy as you like as the Ciaron Maher-trained Set Square takes out the premier event of Oaks Day. Originally published as Maher claims Oaks fair and Square
