The bull, which was junior champion at last year's Sydney Royal, is by Northern View SMW Gustov 3Z and out of Pine Creek Miss 35X Barndance.
He beat out Christie Fuller's grand champion female Diamond Ramblin Rose R422 by Black Diamond Never Ever and out of Black Diamond Ms Expedition, from her Diamond Angus stud.
Pine Creek's Greg Fuller was pleased with the result.
"It is always an honour to win best exhibit at Sydney Royal Show," he said.
"Sydney Royal is the most prestigious show in Australia and I think the only thing better than winning best exhibit is to win the Hordern Trophy."
Mr Fuller believes there were a number of factors which contributed to Pine Creek Great Northern R061 winning the main ribbon.
"He has tremendous length of body, mobility, smoothness and muscle pattern," he said.
Judge David Smith agreed.
"This guy's a big, strong, easy-doing, free moving bull," he said.
"He's got plenty of do-ability, plenty of spring of rib, a big strong head and just motors around for a bull of that weight.
"He just motors along on a great set of legs."
Mr Fuller said the bull's preparation was faultless.
"His preparation went as smoothly as you could want," he said. "He was out with cows until the second week of December and we have been preparing him for the show since then."
Despite the success, Mr Fuller said he won't be returning to Sydney again with the bull.
"We sold him a month ago to a stud for $60,000."
After her cow took grand champion female, Christie Fuller's Diamond Angus enjoyed more success with Diamond The Situation S419 winning junior champion bull.
The young bull is by Myanga Quickdraw and is out of Diamond Miss Pearl.
Pine Creek Miss Perfection T034, by Northern View SMW Gustov 32 and out of PC Miss 945 Initiative L039, was awarded junior champion female.
Mr Smith said the standard of exhibits was "tremendous".
"The top exhibits were very, very good," he said. "They were the sort of cattle that the Angus breed's renowned for.
"The cattle had plenty of frame and were an easy-doing type.
"The top animals were very structurally sound. I like that deep side in the cattle as it gives them a bit more constitution.
"That was in the bulls and the top end of the females were quite exceptional."
