Two winners for Bart at Wyong

Sunday 30 August 2015, 3:47pm

Less than a day before he died, Sultry Feeling won at Rosehill for Bart Cummings.

On Sunday it seemed Cummings was watching over the Central Coast track of Wyong when two horses he trained in partnership with his grandson James crossed the line in first place.

To add to Midas and Muy Bien's wins, Tammany Hall and Skyline Blush claimed victory for Cummings' trainer-son Anthony.

As a mark of respect for Bart Cummings, connections of both Midas and Muy Bien opted to let the horses run in the famous green and gold silks of the trainer rather than their own silks.

Stable foreman Nacim Dilmi said after Midas won in a photo-finish there must have been some divine intervention.

"Bart lifted him up to the line," Dilmi told Sky Thoroughbred Central.

"It is very sad and very emotional."

Glyn Schofield, who won the first Group One race of the season aboard Boban in the Memsie Stakes at Caulfield on Saturday was aboard Midas.

"It is an honour to ride for this great man," he said.

Schofield, Tye Angland, who rode Muy Bien and Tammany Hall, and Tim Clark who steered Skyline Blush, joined other jockeys in a ceremony earlier in the day to honour the legend of Bart Cummings.

"He was the king of the sport and is going to be missed," Angland said.
