Mundijong trainer Terry Atkins has been living a dream for the best part of 40 years, and at last he realised his cherished ambition when he prepared his first metropolitan winner at Gloucester Park on Friday night.

The 61-year-old Atkins was overjoyed when Aldo Cortopassi drove skillfully to land 14/1 chance Moto Perpetuo a surprise winner over Hy Regency and Knot Justafireball in the $70,000 Veolia Environmental Services WA Sales Classic final for two-year-old colts and geldings.
