Dubbo Harness Racing held nine races on Friday night but all eyes were fixated on the fifth race of the evening, the Kyle Barnes Memorial (1720m).
Datizit ($3.40) had the luck of drawing gate one and made the most use of it, as driver Jemma Coney got to work immediately.
Datizit lead the field quite early for the first lap and began to pull away from the field as the second lap progressed.
It was a mad scurry for the finish but ultimately, Datizit was too good winning by more than seven lengths ahead of the second place getter.
The second and third place getters Kylie Garaty and McKayler Barnes both of whom are the daughters of the late Kyle Barnes.
