Magic Milions graduate Dissident has been crowned the Victorian Racehorse of the Year.

A four time Group One winner during the 2014-15 racing season - Dissident achieved three of them in Victoria to claim the state's highest racehorse honour.

From seven starts in the state, Dissident scored three wins and three placings, all at Group One level. His victories came in the Memsie, Makybe Diva and CF Orr Stakes'.

Dissident was purchased by his trainer Peter Moody for $210,000 at the 2012 Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale.

He was recently retired to stud with the race record of seven wins and eight placings from just 21 starts and earnings of over $2 million.

Not only is Dissident himself a graduate of the Magic Millions Gold Coast Yearling Sale - his stakes performing sire and dam, Sebring and Diana's Secret, were also sold through the same sale ring as yearlings.

Hall of Fame jockey Damien Oliver cemented his position among Australia’s most celebrated riders by winning a record eighth Scobie Breasley Medal.

Oliver received maximum votes at four of the final six metropolitan meetings of the 2014-15 season to register a resounding victory, seven votes clear of his closest rival Dwayne Dunn. Globetrotting hoop Craig Williams finished a further 12 votes astern in third.

The three-time Melbourne Cup-winning jockey scored 51 votes across an outstanding season that counted three Victorian Group 1 wins.

The Scobie Breasley Medal was established in 1996 and honours the late Hall of Fame jockey, with votes awarded on a 3-2-1 basis by Racing Victoria stewards for the rides deemed to be the best at each metropolitan meeting of the racing season.

Oliver also collected a second consecutive Roy Higgins Medal as the winner of last season’s Wilson Medic One Victorian Metropolitan Jockeys’ Premiership.

For the first time in its 17-year history, the prestigious Fred Hoysted Medal was awarded to an international trainer, with German horseman Andreas Wohler (30 votes) recognised for his efforts preparing Protectionist to a breath-taking victory in the Emirates Melbourne Cup in November.

Irish master trainer Aidan O’Brien, recognised for his training performance with Adelaide, finished just one vote behind Wohler to make it an international top-two finish.

Star jumps jockey Steven Pateman re-wrote the record books by winning an eighth Tommy Corrigan Medal in nine years. Pateman received 25 votes to defeat a trio of Irish jockeys, with Martin Kelly (12 votes) second and John Allen and Patrick Flood sharing third on 11 votes.

Dean Yendall was rewarded for his 137 victories state-wide with the Victorian Premiership Jockey Award while Ballarat horseman Darren Weir’s ultra-consistent season saw him secure both the Metropolitan and Victorian Premiership Trainer Award.

Young gun jockey Patrick Moloney was similarly dominant against his peers, taking out both the Metropolitan and Victorian Apprentice Premiership Awards.

The VOBIS Horse of the Year title was shared in 2014-15 by Robert Smerdon’s Fontein Ruby and the Ellerton-Zahra prepared Rough Justice, and was one of 11 Victorian Owners and Breeders Awards presented at the event.

Contract Racing’s David and Jenny Moodie were the winners of four awards including the Super VOBIS Owner and Nominator of the Year Awards. They also shared the Thoroughbred Racehorse Owners’ Association (TROA) Owner of the Year Award with David Hayes.

Eliza Park stalwart Bel Esprit was named TBV Champion Victorian Stallion for the eighth consecutive season, with stakes winners Afleet Esprit and Iconic continuing his run of black type success.

Racecaller Greg Miles was recognised for his record-equalling 34th Emirates Melbourne Cup call with a second VRMA Bert Wolfe Media Award, presented by the VRC.
