Bibby claimed the horse herself almost two years ago and has since been rewarded with seven race wins.
While he was a likeable horse, Bibby said she was happy for him to move on.
"He is a good horse, I've always like him," she said.
Hellovanite has proven difficult at times considering he only likes racing when he is really fresh.
"Every few runs he needs a spell, he is so much better when he is fresh," Bibby said.
The eight year old gelding showed early speed last Monday and challenged for the lead.
After settling in behind the leader he was forced to wait patiently before unleashing as sprint finish.
Hellovanite finished seven metres clear of Liven It Loven It and Wipem Dry who rounded out the placings.
Hellovante has now won 14 races from his 128 race starts and more than $76,000 in stakes.
Claiming the horse was Darren Cole, who lives and works in Terang.
