Richard Fourie rode an individual treble at Hollywoodbets Durbanville on Wednesday and there were doubles for both Greg Ennion and Adam Marcus.
Fuorie’s first win was on the useful Ennion-trained three-year-old gelding Sardinia Bay, who made it a fourth win from eight starts in the second race, a Middle Stakes race over 1000m.
The other most notable winner of the day was the Adam Marcus-trained Erupt mare Dream Searcher, who has built up a fine partnership with Craig Bantam.
The mare had fallen to a 55 merit rating as a one-time winner by the time Bantam rode her for the second time. Two third place finishes followed and then in their next 12 starts the partnership has yielded seven wins and a second.
Bantam knows just how to ride her and how to extract the telling turn of foot she possesses to its best effect.
Fourie closed the gap on Craig Zackey on the national jockeys log to 29.
He is on 131 wins achieved at a strike rate of 22.05%.
Ennion is on 15 wins at 9.87%.
Marcus is on 13 wins at 10.24%.
