The Canberra-based gelding trained by Doug Gorrel edged out Cryfowl (Scott Spackman, Wayne Wheatley $2.30) by the narrowest of the margins in the Miller and James Real Estate Cootamundra Picnic Cup.
It was the eight-year-old's sixth career victory and first Picnic Cup win.
It was a big thrill for the Gorrel family with Doug's daughter, Kia Gorrel, the owner of Keep Me Posted.
Keep Me Posted entered the event with form on his side after a win at Queanbeyan two starts back.
He had also run against some quality company in the $35,000 Corowa Cup earlier this campaign.
Keep Me Posted ($5) was steered to victory by Anaelle Gangotena, who rounded out the meeting with a race-to-race double onboard Madison Point in the last.
She shared the day's jockey honours with Wayne Wheatley.
Wagga trainer Scott Spackman trained a maiden winner with Tate breaking through in his sixth start in the Dawson and Partner Maiden Plate.
It was the three-year-old's sixth start.
