An entertaining race day with a number of keen finishes. Billy Owen took out both the Jockey and Apprentice Jockey Premiership for the 2018-19 season despite being out of the saddle for a couple of months.
Kayla Nisbet fell short by one win to match Owen – booting home one winner on the day, and just missing on two others.
Nick Olive won the Trainer Premiership by six wins over Matt Dale.
Race 1
Terrific fields with a sprinkling of sharp Sydney gallopers. It’s the last Canberra meeting for the 2018-09 racing season. Nick Olive has the ACT trainers premiership sown up, but the jockey premiership is a ding-dong go.
Billy Owen is still out of action, but holds a two win lead over Kayla Nisbet, who would be come the first lady rider to take the title. She has seven rides and will be out to make every one a winner.
Race 1 (1080m)

Competitive field all day and the $40,000 Federal has again attracted a raft of genuine chances. It was tough to win from the inside at the last meeting and no surprise if the club has that rectified.
Nick Olive backs up two dominant winners from the last meeting: Successful Day in Race 3 and Contaminated in Race 4, and their runs will create plenty of interest.

Simon Miller continued a good run of form riding a double, as did Brendan Ward. Nick Olive trained a double. The track advantaged horses racing away from the inside.
