Long-time Kyneton trainer Neil Dyer won his third Hanging Rock Cup on Australia Day (Monday).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Highly promising four-year-old His Finest Hour, ridden by Irish jockey Cian MacRedmond, came with a withering burst to win the 1800m feature event in course record time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Dyer and MacRedmond are confident His Finest Hour will be well suited to stronger middle distance events in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A very large group of owners, some of them locals, were elated to win a $40,000 Cup race at the Hanging Rock track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His Finest Hour vied for favouritism with Warrnambool galloper Feargal, who set a hot pace and tried to lead all the way over 1800m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the straight Feargal was strongly challenged by outsider The Mighty Spar, but His Finest Hour gathered them up to win by just over two lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course record of 1:50.46 was almost half a second quicker than the time recorded by Now And Zen back in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WOODEND CUP SATURDAY<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kyneton and Hanging Rock Racing Club is now busily preparing for the Macedon Ranges Ag Machinery Woodend Cup Day to be run this Saturday, January 31, on the Kyneton track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His Finest Hour is already turning out to be a real ‘bargain buy story’ for Dyer and connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally in the stable of top trainer Mick Price, the horse had five starts and was then put up for sale on-line. It was his tenth career start on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His Finest Hour won a maiden at Wangaratta on December 22, then was placed twice in city company before tackling the Hanging Rock Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prize money earned is now $99,100, with confidence there is plenty more to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dyer had previously won two Hanging Rock Cups, his last success being with his top galloper Mrs Bently back in 2002. Tonvenor was his first Cup winner at ‘The Rock’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1990 Dyer has chalked up over 500 winners, across several states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President of Kyneton and Hanging Rock Racing Club, Gay O’Meara, made the Cup presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He thanked bet365 for continuing to support the Cup, and other sponsors for the day’s racing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O’Meara congratulated Dyer, the winning jockey, and His Finest Hour’s owners on their success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DOUBLE TO KELLY<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Alana Kelly took riding honours with a double on the seven-event program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The very accomplished Kelly took out the Carlton Draught Maiden on Himeno, and the Jack Styring OAM Handicap on Hi Tiago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The abundance of shade at ‘The Rock’ was welcomed by many in attendance, and there was a real holiday atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cup winner ‘city class’<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Irish jockey Cian MacRedmond described His Finest Hour as “definitely city class” after winning the 2026 Hanging Rock Cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


From County Kildare, the 24-year-old MacRedmond came to pursue his riding career in Victoria about 18 months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


He has settled in well at Ballarat, where there are some other trainers and jockeys with an Irish background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


MacRedmond rode a winner at his first race ride when he was a 16-year-old schoolboy. It was at the famous Curragh track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


He said he was pleased to be able to ride for Neil Dyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Tall for a jockey, MacRedmond usually rides at 55kg and above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
