It was a weekend of milestones for the next generation of South Australian riding talent.
Teagan Voorham recorded her first metropolitan treble to continue a stunning month in the saddle, Alana Livesey grabbed her first city victory win aboard Picargo at Gawler on Saturday while talented youngster Rochelle Milnes booted home her first win at Port Lincoln on Sunday.
Voorham's big day at Gawler starter with the Kristi Evans-trained Ammo Amor before continuing her impressive strike-rate for the Chris Bieg stable when Starsongari strengthened her Gawler record to three wins from seven starts.
Her day completed when Eagles Forever caused a big upset to score at $31 in what was the first leg of a race to race double for Mount Gambier trainer Richard Wilson when Heir Of Tavistock was successful.
Wilson shared Gawler training honours with Ryan Balfour who provided Livesey her first metropolitan success when Picargo scored before Viduka claimed the last race on the card giving Campbell Rawiller his first win since coming back to Adelaide.
"(It's) great to get the first metro winner, especially for Ryan,'' Livesey said.
Livesey carried that winning form to Port Lincoln along with Voorham, the pair both riding doubles on Sunday, but they were overshadowed by Rochelle Milnes, who grabbed her first win aboard Tiamat and before adding a second win a tick over an hour later when He's Abel scored at odds.
Not to be outdone leading jockey Barend Vorster had a day out at Friday's Twilight meeting at Morphettville winning half of the eight race card.
Vorster scored aboard Hongbao for David Jolly, the Byron Cozamanis-trained Aitch D'Amico, Muffla for Peter and Belinda Blanch before closing out the night in style when Four Winds justified a big push in betting to score for the Sam Burford stable.
