Aimee Tyler scored her first win as a trainer at what may prove to be an historic Winton Cup meeting yesterday. Tyler went into a training partnership with her father, Kelvin, only days ago. "I thought it might have taken longer, but it was only a week," she said of the win. He rode Irish Excuse to win the 1200m Central Southland Cup and Gold’nguru to win the 2000m Winton Cup. The rejuvenated galloper powered away from his rivals to win by six lengths after being sent to the front before the home turn by rider Jacob Lowry.
