The four-year-old paid back some of White’s perseverance after a breakthrough performance at Goulburn this month.

After 12 minor placings, Maid Of Teak finally greeted the judge first and the win proved to be a lucrative one.

“It was a ‘C’ race so there was a $3000 in prizemoney plus a $3000 bonus and a $3000 breeder’s certificate, which makes it worthwhile,” White said.

“She has always been knocking on the door and while she has only won the one she’s run a heap of seconds, seven thirds and seven fourths.

“She is always there somewhere about and while she lacks that bit of class she is always competitive.”

Knowing a win was in store, White tried to sell the daughter of Million Dollar Cam but didn’t receive any offers.

However the win, and the bonuses, were worth well more than his asking price.

White isn’t overly concerned by her poor strike rate and expects she will have plenty of more races in store.

“She is only a four-year-old and it might be a lot of starts but they are racehorses and they have got to go around,” he said. “They can’t do anything in the stable.”

Maid Of Teak is chasing back-to-back wins at Wagga on Friday.

However, White isn’t going into the Redbank Standardbreds Pace (1755m) with too much confidence.

“She has drawn six and is no hope from there,” he said.

“If you go forward you get caught three deep and if you go back you end up three wide.”

The two NSW Breeders Challenge heats are the features of the eight-race card.

Keys Tothe Village is also chasing his fourth win in a row for trainer-driver Shane Hallcroft after a long winless streak.
