As Freedman celebrated his landmark victory, fellow trainer Rick Hore-Lacy felt like throwing a small party over the run of his newly-acquired veteran, Good Ba Ba.
In his second start since joining Hore-Lacy from Hong Kong, and his second after a 20-month retirement, the 11-year-old Good Ba Ba ran a close fourth.
As he did in his first-up run he ran the fastest closing sections, including a final 200m in 11.19 seconds.
Good Ba Ba will go to the Group Three Carlyon Cup (1600m) at Caulfield on February 9 before his main target - and possibly his final race - in the $2 million Group One Doncaster Mile.
"That's the one that's going to suit him best," Hore-Lacy said.
"That's his distance and that's the direction he's shown he's best at."
