Gordon, who trains a team of thoroughbreds with her father, Jack, at Ascot Park, was a perfect winner on Think Pink Race Day at Wingatui - a race meeting where funds are also raised for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation.
Gordon faced her own battle with breast cancer last year so was as pleased as anyone yesterday when Mr Nobody won the first of two maiden hurdles.
''It's a great day to win and it's a great thing that the [Otago Racing] club do,'' Gordon said.
''It's for a great cause and there's just so many people out that it affects.''
The Gordonian won for the Gordons later on in the 1400m open handicap, taking the spoils in the race for the second year running after winning on June 1 last year.
Mr Nobody was sent south last year for a jumping campaign by part-owner Michelle Northcott, who had schooled the Duelled gelding over the obstacles but Gordon's cancer diagnosis changed plans.
Other than one hurdle race, he was kept on the flat last winter.
''This year we hoped to have a crack at the jumping and we'll see how we go, but our vision is to make it to the National in August with him,'' she said.
''We will probably mix it up a bit with him jumping and racing on the flat.''
Mr Nobody proved to be a capable performer in flat races last season, winning the Clare Memorial Gold Cup over 2700m at Omakau in January and finishing fourth in the Dunedin Gold Cup.
''He's a nice horse and he's had a huge season on the flat for us. I thought perhaps he will make a better steeplechaser, but while he's hurdling, I can keep flicking him back to the flat.
''Once we go chasing, we can't really do that - it slows him down.''
