Halcynation (5.00) shared the lead with Sutton Surprise and Tarzan Toby before getting home by a half length from I’m A Snip (Michael Hackett, 8.00) with Tarzan Toby (Joe Saiki, 4.60) fading to third.
Following her win on Halcynation at Collarenebri, Forbes apprentice Catherine Markwort travelled to Dubbo the next day and won the Horizons Village Class three Handicap (1600 metres) on Yes Zariz.
The trainer of Yes Zariz, Bruce Parker from Gilgandra, has always been a very good supporter of apprentices and he and Catherine Markwort have proven a very successful combination.
Yes Zariz (10.00) travelled midfield before Markwort steered her mount along the inside rail for an exciting win over Raised For Battle (Tony Cavallo, 5.50) and Cash To Splash (Glenn Lynch, 10.00).
The runaway winner of the B&W Rural Collarenebri Cup (1400 metres) on Saturday was good looking eight-year-old chestnut gelding Sensational Moment raced by the Edgar family and trained at Coonamble by Colin Edgar.

Michael Hackett won the opening race, the 800 metre Maiden Handicap on the George Wright, Parkes trained Empress Ayleah.

From the Dubbo stables of Cindy Monaghan and raced in partnership with media personality Tim Moses, Superbad brought up a career tally of 12 wins when taking out the Benchmark 55 Handicap (1000 metres).
Superbad (Joe Saiki, 3.00, 2.80) railed through to lead and was too good for British India (Glenn Lynch, 2.50 favourite) and El Win (Kacie Chater, 4.60).
Another Dubbo trainer to taste success was Garry Lunn with Bluey’s Bolt in the Benchmark 44 Handicap (1600 metres).
Ridden off the pace by Glenn Lynch, Bluey’s Bolt (2.00 favourite) finished too well for King Eldons (Joe Saiki, 6.00) and Big Sunday (Michael Hackett, 8.00). Three wide in the early stages, Pepper Legs (Melinda Kinny, 9.00) pushed on to set the pace and was a seven and a half lengths winner of the Maiden Plate (1200 metres) from Miss Haberfield (Tiffany Jeffries, 7.00) and In The Blue (Michael Hackett, 5.50). Pepper Legs is trained at Gunnedah by Graham Shields.
