Legend Of Dubai proved that age is just a number, breaking through for his first Australian win at the ripe old age of seven.

Partnered by in-form apprentice Logan Bates, the pair delivered a masterful performance to claim the Benchmark 64 over 1400m at Pakenham on Thursday night.

Having begun his career with Godolphin in England, the well-travelled son of Dubawi was an affordable purchase from the Inglis Digital Sale, acquired by Lizzie Jelfs and the team at Sutton Racing.

Returning from a spell, the gelding was prepared at Flemington, where he impressed with two strong jump outs ahead of his resumption.

Jumping cleanly from a favourable barrier four, the duo settled into stride quickly, pressing forward to sit outside the leader. Bates rated him beautifully, biding his time and allowing the gelding to stalk the pace throughout—ready to strike when the moment arrived.

Having travelled sweetly throughout, the gelding drew level from the 300m mark and let down with a solid dash over the final furlong, driving through to win by a length.

It was a fantastic result for his connections—long-time supporters of the stable—and a thrill to see the old boy back to his best, getting one on the board for the team.
