And Beyond is trained by Ken and Tanya Hanson - Craig's father and sister - and other members of the family are in the ownership group.

To complete a fitting result, the gelding was ridden by Craig Hanson's nephew Kyle Maskiell.

Hanson was the last jockey to die in a race fall in Tasmania in 1983.

His memorial race has been held ever since and, when it was an open handicap, was won by some top class gallopers including Royal Rambo, Future Shock, Bitter Spring, Pral D'Or and Exdirectory.

And Beyond has a long way to go to reach the same heights as those horses but Tanya Hanson believes he will get to a high level.

"I think he's one of the best we've had for a long time," she said.

"We've always had a good opinion of him but he did a sesamoid as a two-year-old and was out for 14 months.

"Now he's starting to prove us right - it was a great run tonight to beat a strong class 1 field."

And Beyond raced outside the leader I'm A Floozy before getting the better of her at the top of the straight and going on to score by almost a length from Reward Achiever and Coronation Keith.

Maskiell brought up an early double on the Stuart Gandy-trained Gee Gee Manpower in the Ray Trinder Memorial.

Perkins and Wild Style, who got to know each other at Spreyton earlier in the month, renewed acquaintances, so to speak, in the Maiden Plate.

At Spreyton, they were involved in an incident 150m from the finish when Wild Style chopped off Perkins and her rider Siggy Carr was subsequently suspended.

They came close together again on Saturday night but this time it was at the finish - they dead-heated for first.

Trainer Alana Fulton said she had been "pretty confident" with Perkins after his Spreyton run which was his first in the state.

"He didn't have much form in Victoria but I had his half brother Leconte (a winner of three races in Tasmania) so I knew how to train him," she said.

Carr, who also trains Wild Style, thought she had been beaten in the photo-finish so she was rapt to at least share the win as the four-year-old is raced by her mother Tull Luttrell.

"It's terrific to pick up Mum and Dad's first Tasbred bonus," she said.

"I think she'll get 1600m and we will have a handy mare moving forward."

Trainer Ian Hay was pleased to again team up with apprentice Codi Jordan for a win with Rhode Away in the Class 1 Plate.

Despite being caught three wide for most of the 1620m, Rhode Away fought on bravely to beat Need A Gin and Encosta Fiorente in a three-way photo.

"The horse has to be ridden that way - he doesn't like to be pulled around; you've got to let him run," Hay said.

"Codi rode him well last time so I stuck with her again and her 3kg claim helped considerably.

"I like to support young people - I've had a lot of apprentices of my own over the years - because they are the future of the industry and without them we can't even get our horses worked."

Despite being placed behind smart horses Supalopo and Swoop Dog at his previous start, Rhode Away went around at $11.
