No amount of rain or the absence of fans could tarnish last week’s triumph for Indiana Lilly, who snuck past Silent Command in the last straight to win the Kyneton Cup.
Experienced jockey Craig Newitt steered the seven-year-old mare to first place across the 2012-metre race to mark its seventh and most notable win to date.
Trained by Shea Eden and Jamie Dentith, Indiana Lilly entered the eight-horse race as second favourite with the punters behind Dark Dream.
Although the race day was held without spectators, Kyneton & Hanging Rock Racing Club general manager Jon Dight said the club was looking forward to welcoming spectators back to the races in the near future.
