The newly minted Mr and Mrs Ferguson had their first training win as a partnership at Cambridge Raceway last night when Mike Ross won the Hidden Lake Hotel and Apartments Mobile Pace.
Jo and Dylan joined forces as a partnership on September 1 after getting married in August.
Paying $15 for the win the Bettor's Delight two-year-old got the perfect trail for Dylan Ferguson behind hot favourite Crumsy before zipping up the passing lane to win by a neck. It was their first training success win in 15 starts.
"Jeez that came along quick," says Jo, "it was nice to get the monkey off the back."
Previously Dylan had 62 wins in partnership with Graeme Rogerson and Jo (Stevens) had 25 on her own account.
In July this year Jo won an Entain Industry Excellence award for her work as a social media content creator, re-homer, promoter and event organiser.
Coincidentally, on her Track Chat Facebook page last night Dylan's "best of the night" was Mike Ross with him saying he was a decent win chance.
Jo says they had "always thought quite a lot of the horse and he'd been competing in hot two-year-old fields against Cyclone Jordy and the likes."
"It helps when you get a trip like he did."
Earlier in the night they also finished second with Crackerjack in Race 1, the IRT.Your Horse.Our Passion Handicap Trot.
