Following his runaway win in the Betfair King of The Bush Series and receiving the $25,000 first prize on Saturday, Con could not have imagined that his weekend could get much better.

But it did. Following a close fifth at Flemington over the carnival, Old Songs got under many punters guard and started at the luxury odds of 12-1 in the Donald Cup.

In an exciting finish Old Songs made a late lunge to win the race by the barest of margins.

Well done Con on a great weekend. A big thanks also to Betfair for a great initiative to boost the competition and interest in country racing.

Elders Mt Wycheproof Cup on Derby Day saw a very successful day for Swan Hill trainers.
