On a day Gai Waterhouse notched her 100th Group One win, fellow trainer Roger Milne claimed his first when Captain Sonador pounced late to take out the Epsom Handicap at Randwick.

In what Milne described as a dream come true, the secret weapon was Glen Boss who produced a typically cool ride to bring his tally of Group One mile wins at Randwick to eight.

Milne trains a small team for Greg Wagner away from the limelight at Oakey near Toowoomba on Queensland's Darling Downs.

"I'm a dreamer and my dream's come true today," Milne said.

"It'll sink in later on tonight I would think, it's been great."

Captain Sonador put in an eye-catching run for third to Drumbeats in the Bill Ritchie Handicap last week after missing a scheduled start seven days earlier.

That was enough to convince Boss' manager Brendon Cormick to chase the ride when Melbourne's Turnbull Stakes meeting was transferred to Sunday because of the AFL grand final replay.

"Full credit to Brendon, he spotted this horse," Boss said.

"He had confidence in him and it's nice to win another Group One mile (1600m) at Randwick.

"I love this track, it's my favourite track in the world."

Milne was only too happy to have Boss aboard.

"When the call came on Sunday I was only too happy to have Glen," he said.

"I was very confident going into the race.

"I left it all up to Glen as to how to ride him but stressed to just give him plenty of time to wind up.

"He has a good sprint but he has to work into his sprint.

"Glen rode him very very well."

Boss rode the $15 chance well enough to time his run to perfection, nailing favourite Trusting ($5.50) by a head on the line with Sacred Choice ($21) another 1-1/2 lengths third.

Rain during the day didn't help Trusting who had trouble with his footing.

"He was slipping and sliding all over the place," jockey Jim Cassidy said.

"He didn't like it at all so it was a good run."

A former New Zealander, 59-year-old Milne has been in Australia for around 15 years.

He had won a few Listed races in Queensland and got a taste of Group One racing when Captain Sonador ran third to Shoot Out in the Randwick Guineas in the autumn.

It's something he could get used to with Captain Sonador still in the mix for the Cox Plate later this month.

"He is a good horse. During the week ... he told me as to what I should do with him," Milne said.

"He's been happy, he loves it down here. A happy horse is a good horse.

"We're going to Melbourne. We are still in the Cox Plate, I'll just see what Glen says when I get the chance to talk to him and what the owner thinks, whether we make the next payment or whether we lower our sights a bit."

While Waterhouse was in a buoyant mood after Herculian Prince brought up her century milestone in the Metropolitan Handicap and knew just how she would celebrate, Milne was not so sure.

"I've never been here before so I don't know," he said.
