Rob Wellington (Funky Farm and Saint Henry) led the charge with a winning double.
Jodie Bohr (Footmark), Donna Scott (Bautista), Martin Stein (Dismayed) and Mitch Beer (Jawwaal) also joined the party.
The Scott-trained Bautista scored one of the most arrogant wins in the $22,000 Maiden Hcp, (1000m) with Blaike McDougall aboard.
Scott said Bautista could progress through his grades quickly after the confidence boosting win.

"He showed us a fair bit of potential last preparation even though he only had the one start," Scott said.
"But he wasn't quite wound up and I think he is going to be a horse that will get over a bit more ground.
"So its a promising sign going forward and hopefully he can go on with it now.
"Blaike has always had an opinion of the horse and rode a confident race."
The club will stage its next meeting on September 3.
