Winta Chiller was about to go to the paddock for a break after winning at Werribee, but a decision to give her just one more run paid dividends for the filly, and her group of owners, when she won the Toorak Toff At Rosemont Stud Handicap.

It was a red letter day as well for trainer Ross Pecora, his first city winner with a filly bred and raced by the members of his family, and a few friends.

Pecora mixes training horses at Cranbourne besides operating a cheese stall at the popular Dandenong market.

There will no quick decisions made after this win, “we will wait a while to see which direction we take when I speak with jockey, Dale Smith,” he said

The filly was well ridden by Smith, he was in an awkward position at the top of the straight while waiting for a run, once it appeared he was out in a flash.

Smith is riding on the crest of a wave since coming from Western Australia several years ago, with 48 wins to his credit this season.

Drawing the outside at the barrier didn’t assist the favourite, Spending, she jumped too well at the start with Craig Williams having little option but to let her stride, hence she just weakened in the run home.
