Millionaire pacer Washakie was far too good for his rivals in the Group 2 $77,500 Bohemia Crystal Free For All (2,300m) at Menangle on Miracle Mile night, winning in a new race record mile rate of 1:54.4.
The John McCarthy trained pacer worked to the lead with 1,800m to go and never gave the others a look in, powering away in the straight to score by 12.2m from Rohan Home and rising kiwi star Franco Emirate.
It was the Badlands Hanover gelding's 39th career win, with the 8yo having now won in excess of $1.2 million.
Bred by Big Stone Lodge Ltd, Washakie is the first foal of the six-win OK Bye mare Shoshoni Sunrise.
