The girls dominated at Port Lincoln last Friday, riding six of the eight winners.
One of them was for local trainer Brent Hull, who prepares Toorak Blaze. The horse was ridden to victory over 1750 metres by Kayla Crowther.
Caitlin Tootell got off to a flying start with the first two winners on the card, her first being Grecian Storm, prepared by Mick White, over 1350 metres. Tootell’s second winner came on the Rocky King-trained Game Over.
Rochelle Milnes also nabbed a “pair”, firstly over 100 metres aboard Strawberry Swing, trained by Jackie Stoetzer, then a 1200m sprint on the John Dunn and Krystal Bishop-trained 10-year-old Messerschmitt.
Dunn and Bishop also prepared Belmont Avenue to win the last ace on the card, with Brooke King riding.
A couple of trainers — Mick White and Jackie Stoetzer — also landed doubles.
