Leading trainer Tony McEvoy proved that dreams could come true no matter the odds when Savatoxl ($19) careered away to win the Group 1 Goodwood at Morphettville yon Saturday.
Saddling up three of the non-fancied runners in the race the Tony and Calvin McEvoy team were “hoping for the best”.
But a dream run through the inside and a brilliant ride from stable jockey Barend Vorster saw the five-year-old gelding etch himself into Goodwood history, accounting for Instant Celebrity ($5.50) and Gytrash ($2.70). Other leading pre-race hopes Behemoth, Kemalpasa and Beau Rossa finished well down the track in the field of 11, while Dirty Work was solid in fourth place.
