Parkes trainer Sharon Jeffries nabs double at Parkes Picnics Races

Jeffries, who was away competing at a dog agility competition with her pug Leilani, had four runners engaged in the meeting and came away with the win in the first two events on the card.

Superior Power ($13) took out the Broadway Hotel Maiden in a thrilling finish with well backed favourite Miss Monte ($2.40) winning the Agriwest Maiden in a canter; with Andrew Banks on the reins for both.

Stable representative Alex Prout was pretty stoked with how the day panned out - despite his horse Thee Jenner not able to complete a treble.

"Poor old Thee Jenner had the weight of the entire crowd on his back in race 3 - though to be honest I didn't think it was a bad run given the track," said Prout.

The performance of Miss Monte was pretty special, with the four-year-old mare spanking the rest of the field by five lengths and justifying the heavy plunge on her pre race.

The mare had the perfect inside barrier, and she went straight to the front as soon as the gates banged open; and from there she never looked in danger.

She increased her lead in the straight much to the delight of the Parkes crowd, and Prout admitted she was far too good for the rest of the field.

"Miss Monte is pretty wasted at a non-TAB meeting, she got through the wet remarkably well.

"We were pretty confident heading into the race but to see her win like that was amazing."

Superior Power did it a little differently, finishing over the top of Kryssy Krystyna ($3.50) in a powerful display; with Banks timing his run to perfection as the three-year-old won by a neck.

Prout was very pleased that the gelding was able to get the win, with the stable not quite sure what to expect in start five.

"Sharon bought him because he had good gate speed, and we thought he would go pretty well today but weren't sure how he'd handle the track," said Prout.

And boy did he handle it well!
