The enigmatic One Over All was on his best behavior when he rounded up his rivals in Saturday night’s I Didnt Do It Trotters Free For All at Melton Entertainment Park.
Greg Sugars made a three-wide move on his own behind One Over All and the son of Angus Hall loomed up around the home turn before reeling in $2.50 favorite Ollivici down the straight.
The winner finished off the race with an impressive 27.9 last 400 metres.
Sugars was relieved that One Over All produced his best racing manners on the night.
“He’s a real handful of a horse as we know and can mix his form on certain days when he is not in the right mood, but thankfully he returned back to his good self tonight and got the job done,” Sugars said.
“He’s a very strong animal as we know through a lot of the country cups that he has been able to win and he’s also very fast when he is sat up for one run, so it is no surprise to see him run time like he has tonight.”
Sugars said One Over All might have raced himself out of future standing start country cups.
“We’ve tried to target the country cups and stand start races, but he’s getting a lot stronger nowadays and the handicaps are getting pretty hard for him,” he said.
“Hopefully we can focus on these types of races for him if we can get him to behave from the mobile.”
