Ladbrokes Australian Pacing Gold eligible pacers dominated last night’s Menangle meeting.

Not only did they capture three Group Ones, APG stock led home the trifecta in the New South Wales Derby.

Poster Boy claimed the Blue Riband ahead of Tam Major and Major Times in what also doubled as a trifecta for trainer Emma Stewart.

Stewart also prepared Ladbrokes APG purchase Carlas Pixel to secure the Ladyship Mile.

Driven to perfection by Luke McCarthy, Carlas Pixel stopped the clock in 1:49.5.

Stretching her record to 14 wins and 12 placings from 39 starts, Carlas Pixel became the equal second fastest mare in the southern hemisphere.

Rounding out the Group Ones was Shez All Rock, which was scintillating in the New South Wales Oaks for trainer-driver Mark Pitt.

Scoring in 1:54.3 over 2400 metres, Shez All Rock boasts  four wins – including a Group Two – and a second from five starts for earnings of $165,750.
