Great day for Jai as he defied the heavy track and duck weather to notch up a treble on familiar turf at Ballina 🥇🥇🥇
Firstly he piloted home the big fella JIVE TURKEY, then backed that up with a win on COSMIC FORTUNE, both for former master Stephen Lee. Then rounded out the day with a nice win on ONE ‘N’ ONLY for Kim Loy.
Very satisfying to get the chocolates for a couple of trainers that have always been great supporters of Jai. Made even better by the fact that he achieves this without the aid of a claim.
Well done mate 💪💪

Flashback to Melbourne Cup day on the Gold Coast where Sariah completed a rare hat trick of wins and her first treble at provincial level.
Just reward for a girl that gets through adversity through pure hard work and dedication to improving herself and her craft. Very proud 🥹

Super proud of Sariah getting her first win today at Lismore in only her second meeting back since a long enforced break.
Very satisfying considering the absolute hammering she has copped on all media platforms, keyboard warriors and ignorant flops.
Promising rider, even better person and a valued member of my team.
Massive thank you to Glenn Thornton Racing for the unwavering support and a big congratulations to the team at Ready 2 Race 👏👏
Big props to our newest member of the team Dylan Turner on a great ride at Warwick today to get the chocolates on the Edmonds/McLean trained MISSION TO WIN 🥇
In only his second ride in QLD after a lengthy spell, Dylan settled 3 back the fence before working into the clear with a perfectly timed run to nab them on the line.
Big thank you to the Edmonds/McLean stable for the early opportunity and hopefully many more to come with this partnership 🙏

Massive congratulations to Rob Thorburn on not only getting his first win at the Sunshine Coast but riding a double 🥇🥇
Both were great front running rides, firstly for Gary Duncan on A LOT OF BOOTY then David Vandyke on LUTON HOO. Big thank you to both trainers for the opportunities.
Well done Rob 👏

Successful trip to Birdsville for Dylan Bennett as he booted home 3 winners from 6 rides courtesy of trainer Craig Smith.
Big congratulations to Craig and his team for another fruitful trip to the time honoured event and well done to Dylan on his “interesting” trip
Shout out to Stacey Callow for a couple of great rides to secure a double at Toowoomba last night 🥇🥇
A great result for someone that works so hard on improving her craft with limited opportunities. Big thank you to boss Paul Nolan Jr for the unwavering support and trainers Harold Norman and Donald Baker for the opportunities last night 🙏🙏

Not only the winner of the apprentice premiership but also the overall category!!

Casey Waddell and Jai Williams headed to Beaudesert with Casey putting in a great ride to steal the first race on the Greg Wright trained Tavieslass.
