Brad Lynn’s colt Callmewhatuwant claimed Wednesday’s Gary De Campo Memorial Pace (1609m) at Donaldson Park on Wednesday.

Driven by Chris Lewis, the two-year-old scored his all-the-way win by 7m over Elephant Rock, while Capel’s Cold Hard Cash ran third for trainer-reinsman Aiden De Campo.

Heavily backed in by punters pre-race, Lewis capitalised on his inside draw to hit the front and stay there, despite solid challenges from De Campo and company throughout the journey.

Although he didn’t greet the judges in the feature, De Campo did finish the meeting with a training double, courtesy of Purest Copper and Navy Street.

On Friday night at Gloucester Park, Harvey’s Dylan Egerton-Green completed a fantastic trainer-driver double.

Egerton-Green, piloting Nase Vira, pipped Miss Hepburn — trained and driven by De Campo — by a head in the GPHR 2YO Fillies Western Crown Pace (1730m), marking her first win in three career starts.

A short time later, he also guided Cork Can Run to glory in the GPHR 2YO Colts and Geldings Western Crown Pace (1730m) by 2.7m over Brought To Light.
