Journeyman jockey Jack Hill rode his first Flemington winner since July 6, 2013 when he came with a well-timed run to land the second race on Beltoro.

Hill was thankful his trainer Rob Hickmott had kept him on after he scored on the horse at his debut at Bendigo.

“Rob and the connections have been great for me,” Hill said.

“Normally when they come to town I get replaced, which is understandable, but to stay on one and win the race is even better.”
