Trainer Jamie Gameson, who won with Brylin Crescent and Classic Icon at Forbury Park last night, will turn his attention to the Winton meeting tomorrow.

He has Move Over, Fashion Rains and Bibra Lake engaged at Winton.

Brylin Crescent and Classic Icon became ineligible for races at Winton.

Both were driven by Ricky May, who won his first three drives last night.

Gameson and his wife, Natalie, race Classic Icon, a 3yr-old having his first start. Jamie races Brylin Crescent with Gary Eddington, of Methven.

The 3yr-old trotting filly is by Brylin Boyz out of Another Starlet, whose five other foals to race have been winners. They are Millburn Michael (six wins), Silver Star, Gammel Dansk, Cochin and Pink Diamond. Another Starlet, a Sundon-Lilly The Pink mare, is being bred from by Carl and Heather Middleton.

The Gamesons bred Classic Icon, the second foal of unraced Soky's Atom mare, Sandra's Soky.

Another Starlet is a half-sister to Aruba, who won for the Middletons last night. Aruba prevailed by a nose over the pacemaker, Kevies Moment.

• Dying To Rule, the winner, and Partyboysimon, who finished fourth, were claimed last night from the race for claimers.

Dying To Rule and Partyboysimon both changed hands for $5000. Dying To Rule was claimed by Glenn Scott, of Kaiapoi. The 5yr-old winner of five races from the David and Catherine Butt stable has been transferred to Kaiapoi trainer Neil Radford.

Partyboysimon was bought by Ron Severins, of Dunedin. The winner of three races, Partyboysimon has joined the Roxburgh stable of Geoff and Judy Knight. Severins races Kabisa and Life's Cool from the Knight stable.

• Alister Black had his first win as a trainer when Rome overcame a second line draw last night.

Black (29), of Wallacetown, has held a training licence for five years but he has had few horses to the races. He combines training and driving with work at a venison processing plant.

He took over the training of Rome six days earlier from Omakau owner-trainer Lionel Sinnamon. The 4yr-old Rome was having his fifth start. He is raced on lease by Sinnamon and his sons, Graham and Grant.

• Goodwin's Blueagle had his first win for two years when he held out Silver Ranger last night.

The favourite Limited Edition, who made the pace went off stride entering the home straight.
