After travelling second for most of the journey, the six-year mare old hit the front with around 150m remaining and held of a fast-finishing Exilia Miss, who was 15 lengths off the pace at one stage, for her eighth career win and third in her last five starts.
Tamworth’s Michelle Fleming was the only trainer to train multiple winners with Babbinboon Boy getting home for a length win in the Rapid Clean New England CG&E Maiden Plate (110m) before Herecum Da Drums stormed home to take out the final race of the day.
On Saturday Sinclair once again dominated his home track, with all six of his entrants placing at the 2018 Moree Twilight Races.
Master Cramsie was the local trainer’s biggest success, beating Pleasure Bomb by a short head to take out the Maiden Plate (1300m).
“He went good for his first ever race,” Sinclair said.
“To win over 1300m, which is a bit of a longer distance than you would usually start with, I’m pretty happy.”
Sinclair’s other first-starter, Let Him Fly, also ran well, coming in second by a short head to Red Drama in the first race.
“He got beat in the last stride, so I’m really happy with how he went,” Sinclair said.
The Sinclair-trained Free Billy was unlucky in the Benchmark 66 Handicap (1300 metres), and placed third after missing the run at the top of the straight.
Meanwhile, Silver Art placed second to the Collarenebri, Kelly Smith-trained Yours Truthfully in race two, and Sinclair’s Oh Why and Happens Nomore came in second and third respectively in race five.
Sinclair said overall it was a successful day on the track.
“They all went good, they all tried their hardest,” he said of all six horses that raced on Saturday.
