Kayla Nisbet rode the horse superbly to win the club’s feature race and picking up the first of two race wins for the young jockey. 

Life Of Reillly out of the Paul Murray stables was favourite and secured a podium finish, but could only muster third with John Kissick at the reins. 

Second place went to Sigmund, ridden by Neil Perryman. 

Nisbet backed up her feature ride in the final run of the day, topping the field on one of the outside favourites, Flash Magic. 

Both horses were out of Steve Stephens’ stable awarding the pair the jockey and trainer of the day honours. 

Jockey Rachel Hunt also secured a double on the day, with inspiring rides in races three and five and a second-place finish in race four to round out a strong showing. 

Hunt rode Rock on Zariz to edge out race favourite Kingmandu in the 1200-metre handicap run before riding equal favourite Therese to a second-place finish in race four. 

She backed up the effort in race five, leading the Scott Collings’ trained Ultima Chance to the front of the pack ahead of Brimstone and Mineral Deposit. 

Club officials said there was a strong crowd on hand to enjoy the race meet an entertainment with live jazz on the day. 

Conditions had improved since last weekend’s rainfall and organisers praised the state of the course.
