 After winning both his heats he won the final on 2 January 1981 defeating King Carramar and Local Mark.The Inter Dominion was held in Hobart for the first time and the relatively small circumference of the showgrounds circuit and handicap conditions may have contributed to the non-appearance of Satinover, Locarno, Delightful Lady and Gammalite and the poor performances by New Zealand trained horses during the series.Koala King, the previous winner, was injured.
