A famous set of colours zoomed past the winning post at Moree on Saturday with the victory of Hiraishin in the RDO Equipment Bracelet (950m).

The silks of yellow and black quarters carried by winning jockey Sebastian Galea were owned by the late Mr Don Storey, a popular owner, breeder and administrator.

Mr Storey was a Sydney Turf Club member in 1960, served on the committee from 1970 to 2001 and spent time as Vice-Chairman during that period.

He owned such greats as Been There who was runner-up in the 1983 Golden Slipper to Sir Dapper and the flying machine Rain Affair who won 12 races and $1.4 million in prizemoney.

The family carries on the tradition with the winning owners being Mark Storey, Paige Storey, Chelsea Storey, Sarah Storey and Troy Lacey.

Hiraishin ($6) went on to score by half a length from Toulon Factor (Arthur Pollock, $9) and Exsensible (Todd Bailey, $3.50 favourite).

The next chance to earn points will be at MALLAWA PICNICS on Saturday (8th June).
