Foxborough ($2.60) had a group one placing to her name behind Funstar and Probabeel and her class came to the fore when winning the $72,000 Kooringal Stud MTC Guineas 3YO Benchmark 74 Handicap (1600m).

She did not just win the Guineas, she dominated her opposition to win by a whopping five and a half lengths.

A superb early move from gun Southern District jockey Blaike McDougall paid off as Foxborough took off 700 metres from home and hit the front before they straightened.

But the Dissident filly, who ran in last year's VRC Oaks, was always going to prove the superior stayer and she raced away to win in a canter.

Sydney trainer John Sargent, who also won the Gold Cup, was not surprised by the performance.

"She likes the cut out of the track. She's been group placed over a mile, second in the Fernhill beaten a nose, and that was her race today at the weights and the class she was racing against," Sargent said.

The Norm Gardner-trained Cyborg ($12) ran home well for second place, with River Charge ($11) also running well to finish third.

The win also clinched Blaike McDougall the Tye Angland Medal for the second consecutive year. McDougall won the inaugural award last year, and rode four winners over the two days to win the medal for the second time.

McDougall finished on 16 points, three ahead of Shaun Guymer. The pair cleared out well in front of the rest.
