Scone based Vad Bolozhinskyi rode three winners at the meeting including a winning double, Tattinger and Operatic, for Coonabarabran trained Graeme Brooker.
Tattinger, a winner two starts back at Scone, backed from $3 to $2.70 favourite at Collarenebri, burst clear from a pack of five to score a convincing win over Newcastle Dancer ( Scott Sweedman. $3.60 ) and Diamond Court ( Wendy Peel, $5 ) in the 1000 metres Joe & Jane Willis Memorial Benchmark 50 Handicap.
In an exciting finish to the Jack Meaney Memorial Maiden Plate ( 1200 metres ), Operatic ( $4.40 ) came home fast on the outside to win by a short half head from Carinda Road ( Rasit Yetimova, $3 equal favourite ) with Spy’s Shadow ( Michael Hackett,$4.40 ), a head away, third.
