The apprentice Luke Cartwright landed on Saturday on Saturday when he led the Hardy Galloper Heavenly Eagle to victory in Balgownie Bendigo BM70 (1300 m).
The six -year -old son of Echoes of Heaven came from the borehole in the field to snap at Waimarie and Führer Prinzerro in a perfectly time -controlled journey at the game.
Heavenly eagle created by Stephen Brown and has a good fresh record with two wins and two placements from five cases in a fresh condition.
“We are all pretty cheerful,” said Elisha Brown.
“He goes very well and when I looked at the price this morning, I thought he was far over the chances.
“Luke has already driven the horse and knows him well and Luke has a brilliant future in front of him.

“The horse was a lot of fun for the owners.”
With four wins and 11 placements, Heavenly Eagle has been a solid money spinner for connections since crossing the Tasman.
Heavenly eagle was bred twice from the Bloodstock border and was tested twice against Tony Pike in Modern Zealand before joining the Brown Camp.
Jockey Luke Cartwright, the younger brother of Matt Cartwright, who really made a name for himself this season in Modern Zealand, was pleased to win for the Browns.
“I had Stephen Brown Jnr's voice in mind and told me I shouldn't go too early because he has a really good turn of the foot overdue,” said Catrwight.
“I listened to him and pressed the button when the time was right and he was perfectly coordinated and did the work overdue.
“I am thrilled because it is my first Saturday winner.
“Browny (Stephen Brown) has supported me since the day and he was always there for me. He is a great person for whom he can drive. He is really cross and I know this guy, I have already won him on him, and he said today to keep it in midfield and press the button if he feels right.
“I will just work challenging and hopefully I can continue to collect the winners, whether it is in the country or in the city. It should lead to a nice winter for me.”
Heavenly eagle is a full brother of the traded tribe promised country.
