POLANSKI proved fairytales can come true in horseracing when the $4000 purchase ran out an easy winner of the AAMI Victoria Derby (2500m).
It gave Sydney jockey Hugh Bowman his third win in the Victoria Derby in the past four years.
Bowman gave Polanski a superb ride placing him in seventh placing in a fast run Derby. He took over at the top of the straight and didn't look like losing.
Laing said he wasn't surprised by the win.
"I texted some of his owners this morning and told them there would be a margin," Laing said.
Polanski defeated Complacent and Thunder Fantasy.
Bowman said of his three Derby winners Polanski was the strongest.
Laing predicts a future as a weight-for-age start for Polanski.
The win gave Cranbourne trainer Robbie Laing the highlight of his training career.
