The emotions associated with success came flooding back for Amy Tubbs last Wednesday night when the 39-year-old broke a long drought in the sulky.<\/p>\n
Tubbs claimed her first victory as a driver in almost six years when she teamed up with Rio Rock \u2013 a horse trained by her sister Jess \u2013 to win the Golden Point Football Club Billies Legends Pace at Ballarat.<\/p>\n
The half-neck win over brother-in-law Greg Sugars was the first since Tubbs piloted Siliqua to the second leg of a Melton double all the way back in June of 2017.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was just as fun as I remembered,\u201d Amy, an 11-time Group 1 winner, said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe best part was coming back to scale and hearing the caller say that she was trained by Jess Tubbs and driven by Amy Tubbs.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was a really special moment. I loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tubbs\u2019 688 career triumphs are highlighted by the 2008 Victoria Cup triumph with Melpark Major, a horse trained by her late father Alan.<\/p>\n
Wednesday night was a big one for Amy, who was also celebrating after Cognati – a horse she part-owns – returned to the track a winner in the Plumbpro Trotters Handicap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
