Pitt has only recently taken on Security Check, with his first race on the gelding on September 27 resulting in a third place finish at the Riverina Paceway.
Following on from that performance, the $1.95 favourite made the most of a front row draw to pull ahead before leading home Sports Bounty and Mangochililime by 15.8m.
Flaneur driven by Adam Richardson won the Southwest Stockfeeds Pace over 1740m for Wagga trainer Gary Lang beating home Pass the Baton and Swedish Meatballs by 3.1m.
Flaneur has gone through a bit of a drought with the gelding last picking up victory all the way back in April this year, however he was good enough to make the most of a prime draw to win at $7.
