There are no limits to the talents of Darren Weir as a horse trainer, that elusive Group 1 win was achieved when Trust In A Gust won the Sir Rupert Clarke Charity Cup, at Caulfield on Sunday.

It was also a satisfying win for apprentice rider, Damian Lane, his first Group 1 success since coming from Perth to be attached to the stable of Mathew Ellerton and Simon Zahra.

As for the army of owners that share ownership in the horse, and there were plenty, they made sure they were going to be heard.

The entire, Trust In A Gust, has met all the challenges, when the bar was raised he answered, he has now won nine races from 16 starts.

A great money spinner for his owners after being purchased for $45.000 as a yearling, he was not the flavour of the month when it came to syndicating him.

The race was ultimately decided in the steward’s room when Ben Melham, the rider of the second horse Dissident, raised an objection that interference had occurred at an early stage of the race.

After a good hearing the stewards had no option but to dismiss the protest, one, that it happened early in the race, and Dissident at one stage in the straight had his head in front of Trust In A Gust.
