The six-year-old entire was paying odds of $31 to win the 2012 TJ Smith Stakes at bookmaker.com.au and was the least backed runner in the field.

Rain Affair finished a close second in the 2012 TJ Smith Stakes, while Hallowell Belle finished in third.

Race favourite Foxwedge didn’t come on and finished last in the six horse field.

Trainer David Payne was delighted that Master Of Design was able to put his many injuries behind him to win his first Group 1 race.

“He knocked off the big guns today which was good,” Payne said.

“He’s been a problem horse but he’s got so much ability and at least he delivered today.

“It was his day today.

“It’s good because (the owners) are good supporters for me and they bought this horse cheaply and now he’s a good stallion prospect.”

Originally purchased for $2.1 million from the 2007 Australian Easter Yearling Sale, the Redoute’s Choice entire was purchased for just $150,000 by his current owners.

Part-owner Michael Virgo couldn’t believe his luck after the 2012 TJ Smith Stakes was run.

“It’s fantastic. It’s such a thrill,” Virgo said.

“We had a lot of faith in him and we gave him to David.

“He’s done a super job.

“(We) definitely knew the issues, and as you know in racing you’ve got to take the gamble.

“He’s very well bred and I’m sure he’ll be off to the barn this year.”

Craig Williams was the jockey who rode Master Of Design to his 2012 TJ Smith Stakes win.

“He delivered for us so I’m very grateful to get the ride today,” Williams said.

2012 TJ Smith Stakes Race Results & Finishing Order

The superstar four-year-old won the $1 million TJ Smith Stakes in her usual thrilling style, winning her fifth straight Group 1 by a phenomenal  two and three-quarter lengths.

Staking claim to her title of the world’s greatest racehorse, Black Caviar thrilled Sydney’s Randwick Racecourse in what was her first, and possibly only, Sydney appearance.

The Bel Esprit mare proved that she was more than capable of handling the Sydney way of going as she powered to the lead on Sydney’s clockwise track.

Hay List, who finished five lengths ahead of the rest of the field in second, provided Black Caviar fans with a bit of a scare, rounding the home turn a long way in front of the superstar.

Black Caviar soon gave Hay list a dose of her extraordinary speed and talent, blitzing past him down the home straight to take out the 2011 TJ Smith Stakes.

Trainer Peter Moody was very relieved that Black Caviar was able to assert her dominance in horse racing once again in Saturday’s race.

“She’s got that relaxed laid back mannerism about her and that’s why I’ve always had the feeling she’d run any trip you wanted,” Moody said.

“Luke (Nolen) gave her a backhander and probably for the first time he genuinely had to.”

Jockey Luke Nolen is thrilled to have the opportunity to align himself with such a champion racehorse.

“At the moment she’s a deserving people’s champion,” Nolen said.

“We’re privileged to have anything to do with her and I thank god every day.”

Pam Hawkes, who owns part of Black Caviar, summed up the overwhelming experience that she has been a part of.

“It’s a dream and as I’ve said before the dream came true,” Ms Hawkes said.

Black Caviar will now go to both the Group 1 BTC Cup on May 14, 2011 and the Group 1 Doomben 10,000 on May 28, 2011, for the Brisbane Winter Carnival.

Originally aimed at the $150,000 Group 2 Lady Sonia McMahon Memorial Stakes (Sapphire Stakes) at the same meeting, Ryan opted to run his talented filly up against an open field of sprinters in the Group 1 T J Smith after only six other horses were paid-up for.

It proved the right move as Melito ($10), ridden by Blake Shinn, produced a powerful late burst leaving behind Hot Danish ($3.90) three-quarters of a length away in second with the $3.30 favourite Mic Mac just a short-head further back for third.

Following the top three, the Peter Moody-trained Newmarket Handicap winner Wanted ($3.90) snared fourth followed by Patronyme ($12), Metal Bender ($19) and Lord Tavistock ($21).

After settling worse than mid-field, Shinn and Melito surged to the lead inside the last 200m to claim victory and stop Hot Danish from winning their first Group 1 success in eight unsuccessful attempts.

A daughter of Redoute’s Choice, Melito maintained her impressive second-up record with her win in the 2010 T J Smith and atoned for her third place to Patronyme in the Group 3 Birthday Card Stakes last start.

Melito became the seventh T J Smith winner to go out at double-figure odds in the races’ 14 year history, giving trainer Ryan his first Group 1 success since he won the Oakleigh Plate with Snitzel in 2006.

The $300,000 Group 1 All Aged Stakes (1400m) on April 24 is next on the agenda as Melito will attempt double Group 1 glory at the Sydney before heading to Queensland for the Brisbane winter carnival.

T J Smith second and third placegetters Hot Danish and Mic Mac will try to turn the tables as they face off against Melito again in the All Aged Stakes.

It was a cracker day of racing at Randwick on Saturday, with emerging stayer Shoot Out winning the $1.3 million Group 1 AJC Australian Derby (2400m), which was the feature event at the meeting.
