Teagan Voorham capped a special month in the saddle when Diamonds completed the City Of Marion/Christmas Handicap double at Morphettville on the weekend.
It was a carbon copy of their first Listed feature, Diamonds settling back in the field before powering over the top of rivals and becoming the second horse is as many years to complete the December double.
The Listed double follows on from Voorham's first South Australian Country Cup success aboard Neva Doubt Us in the Clare Cup in late November with that momentum seeing her land 11 winners from her past 50 rides and she was quick to thank trainers for the opportunities.
"I've been very lucky with the support, it always helps to have the horses and I can't thank everyone enough,'' Voorham said.
"It's good to get another one (Listed win).
"I really appreciate support and it's great to get the job (done) again,'' she said.
Voorham said despite being initially disappointed when faced with a wide barrier she was confident Diamonds had the ability to run past rivals if the race was run to suit.
And just like the City Of Marion Stakes the pair were able to track Manhatten Times into the race before unleashing her brilliant finishing burst.
It was another Saturday and another Richard and Chantelle Jolly Morphettville treble, the 14th Saturday in succession where SA's leading stable has walked away with a city winner(s).
Wild Imagination kick started a treble before Our Shining Star scored and big odds, and Who's Clang made amends for a luckless last start to give stable jockey Jake Toeroek a double and place him in the lead in the Adelaide Jockey Premiership.
Kayla Crowther shared riding honours riding Our Shining Star to victory before winning the last aboard the Matthew Seyers-trained Test The Law while Lachlan Neindorf also had a winning pair claiming the opening race aboard Victorian youngster Angelique before partnering the Mick Huxtable-trained Residue to victory later in the day.
Neindorf's double continuing a strong start to the 2022-23 season that has him well placed in a very different looking Adelaide Premiership.
Jake Toeroek leading on 18 from apprentice Ben Price on 16 with Neindorf a further win back in third.
AT Bordertown on Sunday punters walked away smiling after the heavily backed Dr Dee Dee scored a strong in in his hometown Cup.
Ridden confidently by Kayla Crowther, the Darryl Dodson-trained seven-year-old safely holding Ritratto in the run to the line to land some solid market support.
AND at Port Lincoln on Friday Ryan Hurdle shared riding honours with a double alongside Ellis Wong who won the opening two races, while Teagan Voorham also scored herself two wins.
