The Damien Lane Racing stable ironically took out their own sponsored race at Wyong when stablemates Another Larga & Cervinia finished 1-2, both jockeys were given a 10 out of 10 by trainer Damien Lane.
Another Larga was ridden by Jean Van Overmeire whilst Cervinia was piloted by Blaike Mcdougall when beating home Global Rocket under Jason Collett.
The race was taken on early by Cervinia who led Uno Best from Elle A Walking with Another Larga hard up against the rail.
On turning for home Cervinia kicked well clear and looked as though it was going to take out the sponsored event, Another Larga, second up from a spell had other ideas, rattling down the centre of the track to nail the stablemate in the concluding stages, quinellaring the race for the stable.
