UNCHAIN My Heart ended her racing career with a historic farewell win when she became the first mare in history to win successive Andrew Ramsden Stakes.

The David Hayes trained mare will be sold at next month's Gold Coast Magic Millions broodmare sales.

"That's a really good way for her to finish her career with a second Andrew Ramsden Stakes," Hayes said.

Syndicator Joe O'Neill from Prime Thoroughbreds said it was the perfect way for Unchain My Heart to end her racing career.

"She's a rising eight-year-old mare and I'm sure she'll find a good home," O'Neill said.

O'Neill purchased Unchain My Heart from a paddock in Mittagong for $47,500 as a yearling.

Yesterday was her tenth win and took her earnings to $568,520.

Hayes said Unchain My Heart was suited by the firmer track.

Unchain My Heart was the first horse to win successive Andrew Ramsden Stakes since Pantani achieved the feat in 2004 and 2005.

Hayes said Dwayne Dunn, who rode her last year had the option of riding her on Saturday but chose to ride the well-backed favourite Ominous.

Ominous looked the likely winner halfway up the straight but Dunn said he didn't run the 3200m out.

Craig Newitt said he was confident throughout the run knowing Unchain My Heart had travelled well and had a great turn of foot.

Unchain My Heart ($7.50) defeated Vatuvei ($31) by two and a half lengths with Gotta Take Care ($8) a short head away third.

It was the second leg of a winning double for Hayes, as he won the opening event with two-year-old colt Forgive And Forget.

Hayes stamped him as a potential Caulfield Guineas prospect after his win.

And Dwayne Dunn echoed those thoughts on dismounting when he also labelled him a very nice prospect.

Dunn said Forgive And Forget's potential was untapped and he would be a much better horse over 1400m to 1600m.

Hayes wasn't surprised by Forgive And Forget's win as he said he had trialled well.

Hayes will spell him immediately for the spring.
