Clean Sweep for Female Jockeys at Morphettville

The ladies stole the show at Morphettville on Saturday winning all nine races, a metropolitan first in Australian racing, reports racingsa.com.au. The amazing day at the races again highlighted the equality of South Australian racing’s riding ranks with Kayla Crowther, Rochelle Milnes and Alana Livesey all riding doubles, while it was an even more memorable day for apprentice Felicity Atkinson who landed her first city winner aboard Peacemaker (American Pharoah). “At the top of the straight as I started to peel out, I thought “far out we’re going pretty good here, I haven’t completely asked the question. He let down really strong he’s going so well,’’ Atkinson reflected. Meanwhile, Maggie Collett capped a massive day for Dan Clarken and Oopy MacGillivray when Hot Off (Press Statement) led throughout for an impressive win. “This is just awesome. She’s just a ripping horse,’’ MacGillivray said. The female riders continued that scorching form at Strathalbyn on Sunday, winning five of the eight races, Caitlin Munro took riding honours with a winning double aboard Undercover Agent and Talkin’ Italian for boss David Jolly.
