The 10-year-old gelding has won five races since joining the stable in late-2016 and finds himself in career-best form with three wins from his last five starts.

Trained by Jim Barker and brilliantly driven by rising star Jackie Barker, Glorious Finale ran his rivals ragged and led from start to finish to win by 15.2 metres over the Ray Cross-trained Honey Please, with Jerichos Trumpet a further 10m back in third.

Handicapped off the back mark of 30m, Kyvalley Finn was never a factor in the race, but ran home strongly to finish fifth, while the favourite Galleons Victory, who was chasing a hat-trick of wins, could manage no better than sixth.

For Jackie Barker, a second country cup win was reward for a daring drive aboard Glorious Finale.

It followed just eight days after her first aboard Deedenuto in last week's Ararat Pacing Cup.

"When I got away so good and I had a look behind me they were pretty spaced out," Barker told Trots Vision's Paul Campbell.

"This fellow, he's pretty honest, but can trot a little rough at times.

"I thought if I just keep going, they've got to chase and they've got to catch him."

Barker was hopeful of a confident following the gelding's good second behind Kyvalley Finn in the Ararat Trotters Cup.

"He's a really beautiful horse to have around the stables, everyone can handle him no worries, she said.

"He's actually been quite a bit of hard work to get to this (point), probably two and a half years have gone into trying to get him trotting properly and trying to get him back up to this level.

"It's a very special win."

A big day for the Team Teal campaign - the harness racing industry's initiative to raise valuable funds and awareness for ovarian cancer - netted five winners from nine races.

Barker's win on Glorious Finale was followed by that of Bendigo trainer-driver Ellen Tormey with Sheer Modern.

A still relatively new addition to the Tormey stable, the five-year-old mare has won four of five starts for her new trainer.

Her only blemish was a last start seventh at Mildura on February 25, which followed three-straight wins at that venue.

Tormey opted to be patient on Sheer Modern, with the gelding looming into contention approaching the turn before mowing down a gallant Jackierabbit to earn career win number nine at start 44.

"Before the race I was thinking we would drive her quiet and hopefully she hits the line. Early, it all worked out really well," Tormey said.

"She just hung a little bit on the last turn, so I had to nurse her around that, but she hit the line strongly.

"When I got her, the game was to use her gate speed. I've kind of been stirring her up out of the gates and leading, but she just overraced last start, so I thought I would just put her in here and drive her quietly and settle again. She was beautiful here today."

Tormey, who has racked up an impressive 10 Team Teal winners since February 1, was proud to lend her support to the campaign.

"The girls are on fire this month ... I normally down have much luck in these teal pants, so it's good to contribute a fair bit of money," Tormey said.

The teal success continued in the $14,500 Boort Pacing Cup, with Kerryn Manning quinellaing the race with Pay Rise and Onthecrestofa wave.

Manning, who took the winning drive on Pay Rise, was always confident aboard the smart seven-year-old gelding, who has now won 10 of 40 races and been placed a further 17 times.

"He's certainly been running in a lot harder races in Melbourne for a little while now and he's been going quite good," she said.

"It's was always going to be hard drawing 11, but it actually panned out really well in the end.

"The other horse running second was a bit of icing on the cake."

Four teal wins became five when Denbeigh Wade steered the Aaron Dunn-trained Cool and Calculating home in the final race, the D.W. (Bill) Foley Memorial Pace.

Earlier on cup day, there was a victory for talented Heathcote reinswoman Shannon O'Sullivan, who won the E.W. (Ned) Fitzpatrick Memorial Pace aboard the Amanda Turnbull-trained Elmers Hoofing It.

It was the ninth career win for the six-year-old gelding, who started a $2.40 favourite and gave O'Sullivan her fourth Team Teal success.

Her previous most recent win came at Cranbourne last Monday on Illawong Mustang.

With $400 donated to the fundraising effort for every female-driven winner from February 1 to March 14, a total of $2000 was raised on the Boort Harness Racing Club's big day.
