Three-year-old filly Zewinna broke through for a well-deserved win in Hobart on Sunday where she gave her rivals a galloping lesson in the Winning Edge Presentations Maiden over 1400 metres.

In Brief

Zewinna notches overdue win.
Baker juggernaut rolls on.
Blacker could keep mare in work during winter months.

Zewinna had placed second at her two previous starts and punters were confident she could atone for those luckless efforts by backing her in to start the $1.80 favourite after as much as $2.70 was bet when markets opened.

The John Blacker-trained grey filly (Tough Speed-Rustical) settled midfield and raced wide throughout with in-form apprentice Chelsea Baker aboard, but she rode to instructions by settling the filly where she was comfortable.

When Baker called on Zewinna for the big effort in the straight she bounded clear and went on to score comfortably from Gone Global ($18) and Jackjack ($12).

"The filly deserved the win and more importantly it was a Tasbred Bonus race, so the owners picked up an additional $16,000," Blacker said.

The filly was bred by Armidale Stud that earned a $4,000 bonus as part of the incentive scheme.

Blacker said he is in two minds about what to do with the filly in the short term.

"When horses are in good form at this time of the year it's sometimes better to keep them in work and racing, because it is bitter cold where we are (Longford) and they are better off in the warmth of stables, but I'll see how she pulls up and decide next week which way we go."

Baker has knocked-up riding winners since she snared her first win aboard the John Luttrell-trained mare Romary in Launceston on 3 March.

The talented apprentice has ridden 25 winners and has reduced her claim to two kilograms in only five months of race riding.

She has won aboard some handy gallopers including the Scott Brunton-trained First Accused and his progressive mare Kuroset, in fact she has ridden more winners for Brunton (eight) than any other trainer.

However, the Ian and Nick Hay-trained mare Skilendra must be her favourite galloper as she has won four times on the daughter of Catendra, and all have been on the Devonport track.
