Alicia Macpherson got a real thrill with the win of Very Suave ($8) in the race her stable sponsored – the $27,000 Alicia Macpherson Racing Stables 0-68 Handicap (1600m).
Macpherson had many supporters edging the Choisir gelding on, as she hosted a marquee for the day with over 110 owners, friends and staff enjoying her hospitality.
Very Suave is raced by Macpherson and a host of syndicate members and was ridden by Mark Pegus.
The consistent three-year-old gelding has now raced eight times for two wins and three second placings.
The race was a good one for Macpherson as her other runner, 25-1 outsider Grass Ruler, ridden by Andrew Mallyon ran a creditable third.
