Born To Be Wild being presented Ribbon by Jill Neilson
Born To Be Wild won his first race of the season with a lead all the way victory in the first race on Saturday night for Hayley Lehman.
Beginning as the sole front marker, Hayley kept niggling at Born To Be Wild to keep its mind on the job and eventually ran away with a solid leading victory thanks to a good front-running drive.
Miss Vee began well for Matthew Williams from the 600m mark and chased hard to narrow the margin but had to settle for a gallant second place.
Spirit sprinted up the home straight strongly for Shannon Platts to emerge from the pack and take home the third place ribbon.
