The night also featured wins from Dubbo trainer Charmaine Roberts with Zali Keeping, Aston Costello, and Cindy Keeping at Wentworth Park.
In these developments, Cindy Keeping, who accomplished a best time of 29.64, is still qualified to compete in the age-limited New Sensation series.
The National Futurity Champion Gets Early extended her winning streak by securing her victory in six races at Wentworth Park, setting a new personal record of 29.73.
Over in the Masters category, Cumbria Kid, the second-place finisher in the Ladbrokes Million Dollar Chase final, added to his track record with a win at 520m.
Despite encountering challenges on the back stretch, he emerged victorious with a time of 29.81 and boosted his earnings to nearly $200,000.
Although Cumbria Kid will not be partaking in the Golden Easter Egg event, trainer Steve Fitch has redirected focus towards the $10,000 GRNSW Masters Final at Wentworth Park on Easter Egg night, scheduled for April 13.
