Oliveanotherday ($2.30F) kicked off his spring in style with a commanding win in the 2026 The Heath 1100 Stakes results at Caulfield, bursting through late under Harry Coffey to put a clear margin on Bridal Waltz and War Machine and underline his rise through the sprinting ranks. Fresh from a strong autumn/winter campaign and a sharp trial, the Nicconi four‑year‑old showed the trademark turn of foot that has punters talking, prompting Ladbrokes traders to slash his Manikato Stakes odds from $21 into $4 and elevate him to early favouritism. Trainer Tom Dabernig was full of praise for the gelding’s professionalism and progression, noting that Group 1 targets — and even early Everest interest — are now firmly in play. On this performance, Oliveanotherday looks ready to take on the elite sprinters as the spring heats up.
