Jockey Tim Bell produced his second vintage ride in the space of an hour to help Tinto become only the third locally-trained filly to win the Queensland Oaks in the past 40 years.

The victory, Bell's first at Group One level, followed 40 minutes after he steered Sir Moments through a needle-eye opening to take out the Queensland Guineas.

However, it would be hard to top his effort aboard Tinto ($8) who came with a well-timed run to beat the favourite Arabian Gold ($2.80) by 1-1/2 lengths with another half length to Sister Souss ($51) third.

Bell lacks nothing in confidence and he was looking to the future after the Oaks win, proclaiming there would be more to come.

"I have been riding some big race winners but in the long term I am looking at being a premiership-winning jockey," Bell said.

Bell said he had gone into the race with a plan to stalk Arabian Gold who had the measure of Tinto in the Doomben Roses at their previous start.

"I was focusing on when Blake Shinn (on Arabian Gold) was going to push the button," Bell said.

"I didn't want it to be out-sprinting me. When I went I knew it was all over."

Bell brought up a feature race hat-trick when he added the Group Two QTC Cup aboard Sacred Star.

Winning Oaks trainer Rex Lipp said Tinto was unlikely to contest next week's Queensland Derby.

"We will make up our mind when the smoke clears but the Melbourne spring might be more of our goal. She will probably go for a spell," Lipp said.

Tinto gave Lipp his second Group One win and cemented a long-time friendship with her owners and breeders, the McAlpine family, for whom Lipp worked early in his career.

Grania McAlpine, the wife of Eureka stud master Scott McAlpine, is the breeder and owner of Tinto.

"Grania took her to the Magic Millions sales but she was passed in and she decided to race her. Rex was an ideal choice to train her," Scott McAlpine said.

It has been a huge winter for Eureka Stud as it also bred and races last week's Doomben 10,000 quinella of Spirit Of Boom and Temple Of Boom.

Tinto's Oaks win was the first by a Queensland-trained filly since Mon Mekki in 2002 with Mother of Pearl (1982) the only other local to win the race in the past 40 years.

Trainer David Vandyke was happy with Arabian Gold's run but believed she didn't stay 2400m.

"You will never see her past 2000 metres again. She just didn't run the 2400 metres out entirely," he said.

Jockey Ryan Wiggins was thrilled with the effort of Sister Souss while Tye Angland reported Rock Diva had to get too far back from her wide alley and pulled during the run but did a great job to finish fourth.
