Dubbo based, Nyngan bred racehorse trainer Brett Robb had full confidence in his 2-year-old Comogin heading into the iconic Wellington Boot the richest NSW country gallop for youngsters on Monday 31 March.

The punters didn’t think that way Sydney’s invaders including Bjorn Baker had 2 smart babies chasing the $200,000 first prize Invincible Phantom sent out (2.15 favourite) in the 1100m dash.

But at barrier rise Comogin ($9.50) had the gate speed to storm to the front and wasn’t for catching winning by more than 2 lengths, going from barrier to post. Bjorn Baker’s second stable chance Alabama Charm finished second with Scone’s Bullant third.

The son of legendary Nyngan horse man Rodney Robb had trained his horse to be ready.

‘’We freshened him up and he was feeling ready, and Clayton rode a great race on him.’’

Jockey Clayton Gallagher said the well-bred two-year-old was full of running. ‘’He felt good out of the stalls and on the turn he just fired.’’
