Victory number 500

By Michael Howard (HRV)

It was a night to remember for reinsman Mark Pitt at Tabcorp Park Melton last Saturday, who not only produced another winning double but also brought up his 500th career victory.

Pitt steered Emma Stewart’s very smart and well bred Major Celebrity to victory in the TAB Sapling Stakes, the two-year-old colts and geldings’ headliner a great bout between the winner and Aaron Dunn’s impressive Little Louie.

While the latter produced a bold challenge, Major Celebrity had the answers to win by 1.2 metres and bring up Pitt’s milestone.

“It’s always good to get one winner, let alone to drive 500,” Pitt told TrotsVision.

“To be driving winners like I am, it’s just a dream come true,” Pitt said.

“(Major Celebrity’s) still very green in this stage of his preparation but when he works out (how) to be a racehorse I think he’s going to be a pretty nice one.

“I haven’t driven many of the two-year-olds colts at this stage, but I would say he’s at the top of the tree. He was a lot better tonight than he was at his previous start, going into the future there will be some bigger races for him.”
