The All Stars barn make a habit of winning races on Cup Day and they up to their old tricks today with another batch of standout winners.
The Rock N Roll Heaven three year old Benicio was the favourite for the C2 front pace today but several other runners looked capable of pushing the All Stars runner.
Benicio settled in the running line four back on the outer until driver Mark Purdon pushed the go button at the 700 metres mark.
Benicio quickly looped the field and shot clear and at the line he was still 3 1/2 lengths to the good of his opposition.
Owned by Wayne Feiss from Victoria, this was his third win in just four starts.
Noted Victorian horsewoman Jean Feiss was thrilled by the win.
"He has always had speed but was a bit weak at two so we put him aside."
"He has come back a lot stronger this time in and that speed is still there."
"You have to hand it to the All stars barn, they are just the best," Jean said.
Both Wayne and Jean are big supporters of the All Star barn and have been for many years.
Other horses representing them today were Chase The Dream who finished second in the Sires Stakes Final while at this time they still had Messini to run in the New Zealand Cup
