Pippie's confirmed his status as one of the fastest horses in the world when the star Mornington mare won the much-contested Gr.1 Moir Stakes.
The Oakleigh Plate winner burst out of the barriers in her trademark style and, without any urging from jockey Damian Lane, was able to comfortably lead her rivals around The Valley.
A lightning 10.56 second split between the 800m and 600m paved the way for victory for the daughter of Written Tycoon who tired late but had done enough to hold out Trekking, Bella Vella, and Brooklyn Hustle in the final 100m.
A delighted trainer Chris Meagher said he would consider the Manikato Stakes (1200m) and VRC Sprint Classic (1200m) for his popular sprinter later this spring.
Lane said the 5YO had a more early pace than any other horse he's ridden.
