Research was a champion Australian Thoroughbred racehorse who as a three-year-old carved out a unique place in Australian racing history by becoming the only filly to win the AJC Derby-AJC Oaks double.
[2] Bred at Newhaven Park Stud, Boorowa, NSW she was sired by Imperial Prince (IRE) and her dam Outing was by Boucher.
In 1988 Research won most of the major spring three-year-old races in Sydney and Melbourne by winning the Group 1 Flight Stakes (over 1600 metres) at Randwick and the VRC Oaks (over 2500 metres) at Flemington.
Research was not as successful as a four-year-old and never regained the form that had made her so formidable as a three-year-old.
Her feats as a three-year-old earned her the title of Australian Champion Racehorse of the Year for the 1988-1989 season.
