The husband-and-wife team of Jeff Dunn and Rikki Jamieson created Australian racing history on Wednesday when they combined with Sha Of Gomer to win the $200,000 Listed Ramornie Handicap at Grafton.

Never before in Australian racing has a husband and wife trained and ridden the same horse to win a stakes race in Australia.

Dunn, a former stunt performer on horseback, celebrated the biggest win of his short career when Jamison produced Sha Of Gomer in the straight and the horse surged clear under the urgings of his wife.

Sha Of Gomer ($10) defeated Compelling Truth ($4 fav) by 1¼ lengths with a half-length back to Barber ($6) in third.

“It’s absolutely huge,” Dunn said.

“What a thrill to win such a special race.

“I’m overwhelmed with the support that we’ve had with this horse. To win this race is really special for us.

“This would have been great for me but it will never be surpassed in my career.

“I can’t believe it’s happened and it’s really special to share it with Rikki.

“As long as she remembers who’s boss, we’re all good.”

Sha Of Gomer was formerly trained by Australia’s premier trainer Chris Waller and found his way into Dunn’s Beaudesert stable in April.

The gelding went close three runs back when narrowly beaten in the Eye Liner at Ipswich but Wednesday’s win provided Dunn with Jamieson with what the jockey described as “the highlight” of her career.

“Doing it with Jeff is such a thrill,” Jamieson said.

“He’s just beginning his career and needs a few more decent horses so to get a result like this is a big thing.

“He trains so well, we work really well as a team, we have great staff at the moment, everything’s working really well.”
