The Peter Midson-trained chaser ($6.00) was a one-length winner over $2.50 equal-favourite Lektra Falls (Andrew Bell) in a tight finish, with Garry Streatfield’s Flying Sovereign ($5.00) only a head away third.

The honours were shared around with Wybong’s Kevin Smith the only multiple-winning trainer.

He bookended the meeting, winning the opening race of the meet – the Allan Syphers Fencing Maiden – with Springtime Boy and then the last - the aptly named Lucky Last Stakes - with Rival Houdini.

Nine of the 10 races went ahead, only the second last race not proceeding because of a mechanical breakdown.

Hometown trainer William Marmara was among the winners with My Brother Sam taking out the Gunnedah Taxi Stakes (347m).

Following up a second at the previous Saturday’s Gunnedah meeting, the speedster jumped out straight to the front and romped to an emphatic 10-length win.

“He just came out of the boxes this week, last week he missed it,” Marmara said.

“I knew if he came out he’d win it.”

It was a tight finish behind him, with Lost Profit pipping Eumerella Magic for second.

Saturday’s win was My Brother Sam’s third from 19 career starts.
