"It's very hard to do, and only one other horse has done it in Chance Affair.

"It's pretty special."

Meanwhile Takissacod made it three wins on the trot with her success at Albury.

Spackman continues to be impressed.

"She's just a little gem," he said.

"This was her biggest test so far this time in and she just keeps producing.
