When "Like a Boss" won for Dawson I made big money on the pick 6 that day. I think that was her first winner. Karl Zechner rode it home around 40/1.

Only could find pictures of Pedometer. Apologies Quicktan what major race did it win or is the spelling correct as I can't locate anything.
I remember one of the races Pedometer ran in it skated well clear at the start and it faded after that. It also produced a horse called Penalty Kick that won on July Day in Gauteng and another horse called Pedantic which had some black type.

pirates 100% correct.............The Jean machine.......... 
ON KWIKTAN AND PEDOMETER:
Kwiktan (SA Derby, 14 lengths) and Pedometer (Sun International, 14 lengths) won by what many experts deem to be “abnormal” distances.
Heming replies: “Both were abnormally good horses. Kwiktan came to me as a sprinter, but he found a liking for long distances and, like Pedometer, had a high cruising speed. Two weeks before the Derby Kwiktan won a 2400m handicap in class record time. He bumped a small and substandard Derby field in which he was in fact the only proven stayer and won on sheer ability. He was a big and talented chestnut, a horse that could have won the July, but he injured his tendon when finishing a close fourth in the SA 2000 after the Derby. Pedometer beat a seasoned campaigner called Uncle Percy and several other weak horses in the Sun International. He was a star and won on

But Kwiktan was subsequently disqualified from the SA Derby. That is why Naresh probably can't find it. What year was that Derby? 1985? And who physically ran 2nd to be declared the winner?

You right as I see a horse named Agitator won. It was in 1983.

Hmmm, also Agitator sire was Harry Hotspur who was known for sprinting progeny.

The day Pedometer won was problying my personal favourite day ever in Racing . I remember it like yesterday . I was there and the course was packed to the rails. The winners circle was at the back , the whole grand stand lifted and ran to the back to cheer him in . Shouting clapping it was just a day in will never forget. Give me goose bumps just thinking about it. That was horse Racing.
