In the first meeting at the Bendigo Jockey Club for 2015, Bendigo trainers won four of the seven events.

Brian Gentle started the winning run for the locals when he produced first starter Destiny’s Reward to win the My Hair Bendigo 2YO Maiden Plate (900m).

Ridden by veteran hoop Darren Gauci, Destiny’s Reward jumped smartly to grab the lead from Overact.

Destiny’s Reward looked like being overrun by Overact in the concluding stages, but the Bendigo colt kept fighting and held on to win by a long head.

The first two horses finished more than four lengths in front of third-placed Sullivan Bay.

Destiny’s Reward is a son of Blue Diamond Stakes winner Reward For Effort.

Adam O’Neill made it two wins for Bendigo trainers when Amaretto scored its second career win in the Rising Sun Hotel 0-58 Handicap (1100m).

Well-backed to start favourite, Amaretto was too good for its rivals even though it was three-wide for the trip.

The four-year-old mare won by more than a length and looks set to be in for a good preparation.

The Shane Fliedner-trained Good Music scored a long-awaited win in the Jack Drechsler Memorial Handicap (1500m).

The four-year-old mare hadn’t won since breaking her maiden status at Bendigo in November, 2013.

In between wins she had been placed at Flemington twice and Caulfield once, but struggled to break through for a win.

On Saturday, Good Music was well rated by jockey Steven King.

The mare settled third-last off a good speed and King made his run at the 800m.

King worked Good Music to the outside coming around the turn and she powered home to win by one-and-a-half lengths.

Gus Philpot rounded out the Bendigo-trained winners when Domini Servatus scored an upset win in the final race of the day.

After being unlucky in two close-up runs at its previous two starts, Domini Servatus stormed home from near last at the 300m mark.

The six-year-old gelding pipped another Bendigo-trained galloper – the Sean Mott-trained Oriental Play.

Domini Servatus has now won three of its 20 career starts. In eight starts for Philpot, the gelding has finished worse than fifth just once.

The feature race of the day – the Phil Palma Bendigo Ford Marong Cup – was won comfortably by the Peter Moody-trained Crime Fighter.

The four-year-old outclassed its rivals, winning by more than two lengths.

It was Crime Fighter’s second-straight win this campaign and the son of Street Hero could now be set for next month’s Adelaide Cup.
