Trained by John Lew at Dubbo, Burrabadine Dream made the trip to Parkes having previously only placed once in 12 career starts.
But he finally broke into the winners' circle on Sunday after sitting towards the front of the field for the entire trip in the Cunningham's IGA Pace (2040m).
With John O'Shea in the gig, the $26 outsider got the lead early when showing early speed from gate one.
Mat Rue soon got $4.40 favourite Karinya Jude to the lead but Burrabadine Dream had what it took to overhaul the leader and get the job done.
It wasn't the only Dubbo winner on the day, as the Reynolds brothers racked up another victory.
Last weekend's meeting at their home track was the first time trainer Madison and driver Jordan had combined for a win and they didn't have to wait for the second.
After scoring with Tophut Johny at Dubbo the pair got the job done with Joanandi at Parkes.
Joanandi was disappointing when finishing ninth at the Dubbo meeting but bounced back in a big way on Sunday.
Joanandi ($17) won the Medlyns/Castrol Pace (2040m) by a half-neck from Toolittletoolate ($4.80) and Navua Commanche ($8.50).
O'Shea drove a double at the Parkes meeting, getting past the post first with Geoff Lawson's Dont Tell Phyllis ($4.40) in the Parkes Furniture One Pace (2040m).
Racing is next at Bathurst on Wednesday.
