Consistent Macedon Ranges galloper Fiftysevenyears broke through for his second career win when he raced at Murtoa on Saturday.
The win for the four-year-old came after he had notched up six placings in his last nine outings.
Ridden patiently by Jack Hill in a Restricted 58 Handicap over 2050 metres, Fiftysevenyears started as a $4.40 chance and accelerated in the straight to win by 0.4 lengths from El Sordo.
After the race, trainer Liam Howley praised Hill for his perfect ride.
The galloper took his stake earnings to over the $61,000 mark.
Howley has notched up 29 winners during the 2023-24 season.
A trip to Mildura Cup Day the previous week yielded a second, third and fourth for three of the most prominent gallopers in the stable.
