Belle Volant delivered an extra special result for Debi Saxton at Avondale on Friday.
The Danroad mare won the opening event, the Friends of Football 2100m, to provide the Byerley Park horsewoman with her first training success.
Belle Volant was making just her second start for Saxton and the victory was a reward for the persistence of the owners as the seven-year-old had failed to trouble the judge in 23 previous appearances.
