The horse part-owned by the late, great Shane Warne is finally a winner after breaking through in dominant fashion at the Gold Coast on Saturday.

Sacred Oath was taken to the front by jockey Noel Callow and the result was never in doubt after he produced a kick at the top of the straight as a $1.40 favourite.

The occasion was clearly not lost on Callow, who produced a huge fist pump when he crossed the line.

Sacred Oath was famously bowled over as a long odds-on favourite at Ipswich last month, which saw jockey Ben Thompson suspended for the incident.

In dramatic scenes, managing owner Jarred Magnabosco was fined $500 by stewards for a post-race outburst directed at Thompson when he returned to the mounting yard.

Trainer David Vandyke said pre-race that he was concerned his three-year-old colt may still have some mental demons from the ordeal, which saw he and jockey Ryan Maloney put through the running rail, but they were put to bed on Saturday when he charged away to victory.
