Anderton and his wife, Lorraine, also bred and race the winner, Inferno, ridden by stable apprentice Shankar Muniandy.
Brian trains Inferno with his son, Shane. They won the weight-for-age Canterbury Gold Cup with Flight Point (2008) and Burton (2003). Brian was in a sole capacity when he won the race with Random Chance in 1987.
The Canterbury Gold Cup is the oldest established race in New Zealand, dating back to 1855.
Anderton is the only trainer to win it four times since the names of trainers were recorded in the Turf Register in 1925.
The Andertons bred Inferno from a mating of Yamanin Vital and Emerald Fire, who won four races when trained at Riccarton by the late Ned Thistoll. He won the Canterbury Gold Cup as a jockey on Miss Medley in 1945 and as a trainer with Dozen Roses in 1995.
Emerald Fire was by Honor Grades from Gem Fire, who won five races for Thistoll. The Andertons bred Gem Fire (Noble Bijou-Firefly) with Thistoll and the late Denis Carey, and leased out their share for racing before buying the mare back for breeding.
Inferno has now won eight races and $151,113 in stakes, including $59,375 on Saturday. It was the biggest win for Muniandy (23), who has ridden the mare in all her wins.
He angled Inferno on the inside from the rear when the field swung wide entering the straight on the rain-affected track.
Inferno was offered for sale as a 2yr-old at the South Island sale. She was passed in for $24,000 when the reserve was $25,000.
The Andertons also bred Cher Style, the dam of Patrice, who won the 2yr-old race on Saturday at his first start.
Cher Style (Famous Star-All Style) was subsequently bred from by White Robe Lodge stud managers Wayne and Karen Stewart. They gave the mare to Pat Kennedy, of Christchurch, seven years ago. He races the My Halo colt from the Leithfield stable of Neil Coulbeck.
He races Patrice's half-brothers, Oodles (four wins) and Drom, from the Coulbeck stable.
Kennedy raced Derrydonnell, winner of the 1988 Grand National Steeplechase at Flemington when trained at Wingatui by the late Bryan Kennedy.
• Fast Love became the fourth individual winner of the races in the 2011 South Island Filly of the Year series when successful in the Warstep Stakes. She joins Final Touch, Princess Emmy and No Choice in a share of top honours.
Fast Love (Fastnet Rock-Make Me Dream), trained by Murray and Bjorn Baker for JML Bloodstock, was passed in for $50,000 at the 2009 Premier Yearling Sale when the reserve was $100,000.
She is the second foal of Make Me Dream, whose other progeny, Kiwi Hussler, also won at Riccarton on Saturday.
• Rosie Myers and Kane Smith were suspended for careless riding on Saturday. Myers is out from April 24 to 30 and Smith from April 24 to 28. Myers, the rider of So Devine (Warstep Stakes), admitted shifting in at the 400m, causing a check to Flying Petal. Smith (Nowucia) admitted shifting in at the start of race 8 at Trentham, tightening Lord Falcon, Show The Beel and Intransigent.
