It came at just her second runner.

O’Gorman, once married to Sydney trainer Tim Martin, won with Massacre at Armidale last Monday.

That followed a third with Pop A Bottle, narrowly beaten into third place at Scone last Friday.

Massacre, previously trained by Gerald Ryan, could not have been more impressive in winning a 1300 metre maiden.

Glen Lynch quickly had the three-year-old son of Wanted over and running second just outside the leader Rebel Gold to the 600 metres.

At that point Lynch released his hold slightly and Massacre quickly went to the lead then ran right away in the straight under nothing more than hands and heels riding to win by 2.8 lengths.

Pop A Bottle, ridden by Robert Thompson, led for much of the 1100 metre maiden before being overhauled close to the line by Invincible Eagle and Sunny Orders with the three of them hitting the line together in a three way photo finish.

O’Gorman will head to Dubbo in two weeks’ time with Massacre for a Class One over 1400 metres while Pop A Bottle goes to Muswellbrook in three weeks’ time for a 1000 metre maiden.

“Massacre is the ideal horse to travel around and the trip to Dubbo will not worry him,” O’Gorman said.

“The day he arrived at my place, he walked off the truck and stuck his head straight in the feed bin.

“I was really pleased with his effort at Armidale and Glen rode him exactly to instructions.

“The win will do his confidence the world of good,” she said. 

“Pop A Bottle is an entirely different horse.

”She is a petite little filly and needs to toughen up.

“She is racing on nothing but fear at present.

“I was afraid the 1100 metres would be too far so the owners are happy for me to drop her back to 1000 metres which should be ideal.”

O’Gorman felt as if she was returning home when she recently moved to Scone with their two daughters to set up her stable.

She was born and bred at Walcha into a racing family and rode track work at Scone soon after the new track was opened.

Later she had a breaking in and pre-training centre at Camden as well as being involved with her ex-husband’s stable.

“Coming back to Scone was like coming home,” she said.

“I knew trainers like Greg Bennett and Luke Griffith from when I rode track work here and they and everybody else made me feel so welcome.”

O’Gorman has 10 boxes on course and already they are full with   several more horses due to arrive next month.

Pop A Bottle, previously trained by Gai Waterhouse, was given to O’Gorman by Stewart and John Ramsey from Ramsey Pastoral when she made the decision to start training.

“I have been friends with them for years and they gave me the filly to help get me started,” she said. 

It was a similar story with Massacre, owned by Damien and Camilla Flower.

“I have also been friends with Damien and Camilla and Gerald for that matter, for a long time,” O’Gorman said.

“The three of them were at the Magic Millions sales and rang me from there to ask if I would like to train Massacre as they thought he would be better suited in the country.

“I know the horse well.

“I broke him in and rode him before he went to Gerald and I have always liked him.”
