Trainer Wayne Binns could hardly contain his emotions after saddling his first winner on Saturday, May 2, 2026. His charge Goodness Graceous won the seventh race, a maiden condition event for four-year-olds and up over 5 furlongs (1,000m) straight.

“Oh, my gosh, I don’t know what to say, I am just so happy right now,” he exclaimed

Binns, a 2023 trainers’ school graduate, didn’t get much time to process it. He was immediately showered with liquid in the winners’ enclosure by colleagues and friends who swarmed to celebrate the milestone.
