Ridden by Jacob Golden, the five-year-old gelding pipped the favourite Zioptimus at the post in the 1400 metre National Jockeys Trust Benchmark 58 Handicap during Thursday's TAB race meeting in Moree.
It's the first race the Moree-trained horse has won since late last year, having placed third in its last two attempts, including in the 1400m Curlewis Cup at Moree last Monday.
Master Cramsie was also Sinclair's only win of the day, despite having a bunch of horses racing on his home track, including five alone in the Benchmark 58 Handicap.

Sinclair's best hope in the race, Crystal Billy, which was second favourite, came in fourth - 0.1 of a length behind stablemate Mill City, trained by Sinclair's son Nathan, in a photo finish for third place.
Samphire Hoe, Moree Dreaming and Danigree were not as successful for Sinclair, coming in sixth, seventh and 11th.
In the second race of the day, the 1600m Derby Day Long Lunch Class 1 and Maiden Plate, Sinclair placed second with Queen's Song, ridden by Brooke Stower.
Stower also rode Navagio Beach to third place for Sinclair in the 1300m Moree Cup Class 1 Handicap.
