Ascot Park-based trainer Robert Dennis had Sacred Dream, Vino Valentino and Stolen Magic in the feature race at the Wyndham Racing Club’s annual meeting.
Sacred Dream kicked clear in the straight to take the win.
Akshay Balloo has been riding in career-best form, earning a winning double on Wednesday at Riccarton Park before partnering both SacredDream and He’s Tiketiboo to victories at the Gore meeting.
Dennis was rapt with the result, particularly for the large ownership group who had raced the daughter of Sacred Falls since she joined his stable in late 2023.
"It’s massive. I used to work a lot of horses out at Wyndham when I was training at the Dennis Brothers barn, so it’s nice to win this," he said.
"There’s about 60-odd owners in this horse."
The victory was Sacred Dream’s fifth in 30 starts, having recorded wins from 1200m up to 2000m.
Dennis already has the leader in the Southern Cups Bonus Series in Loftys Gift.
