Victorian Crown resumed after a spell for new trainer Patrick Payne to win by nose his Maiden over 1300m at Geelong Synthetic today and edge out the shortie from the Price stable. Michele Payne gave him a good box seat run in transit and presented him on the turn to gain a clear run and drove him to the front in the straight. Congratulations to our fellow owners Clanbrooke Racing, Tennyson Byrnes, Peter Mills, Sam Ody, Paul Perry and BARJ Racing Syndicate
