Runfromterror beat Youlittleterro, trained and driven by Michael Formosa on Thursday afternoon.

While the Aaron Goadsby-trained and Michael Grima-driven Peaksart finished third.

Runfromterror's win was even more impressive given that he was a two-year-old pitted against much older and seasoned competitors.

"We have only had the horse for a week," Coney said.

"So credit to his former trainer in David Thorn.

"He has done all the hard work with the horse."

Runfromterror had all his prior engagements at Menangle, in Sydney.

He commenced as the $2.50 favourite on Thursday.

"The horse has worked well for us leading into the race," Coney said.

"That would be my biggest winning margin as well.

"I can remember winning by 30m before."

Commencing from the six barrier, Coney let Runfromterror "do his own thing".

"We were in the running line and they put the brakes on up front," she said.

"So I took a dip at the lead."
