Logan and Gibbs nab five of eight

Ruakaka trainers Donna Logan and Chris Gibbs dominated on their home track yesterday when winning five of the eight races.

The wins include the Waipu Cup.

The partnership also trained a quinella and a trifecta.

‘‘It’s been a marvellous day,’’ Logan said

‘‘We’ve had five [in a day] three or four times . . . six is our best.’’

Their winner in the last race, All Roads, was most impressive.

He swooped on the leaders 100m out and won effortlessly in the hands of Kelly McCulloch.

Te Kauwhata trainer Tony Cole sent All Roads to Logan and Gibbs for winter racing at Ruakaka.

It was All Roads’ first race for five months.

To get him fit for the Cowley’s Hire Centre Rating 65, Cole prepared him to finish second in an Avondale trial on May 12.

‘‘He’s a very nice horse in the making,’’ Logan said.

She and Gibbs nailed a trifecta in The Advance Build Far North ITM Maiden.

Greencast won by a nose from Beaufighter with Fortius third.

The trainers’ fourth runner in the race, Secluded, was 14th.

‘‘He’s got a big future. I really like him,’’ Logan said of Greencast.

‘‘He’s going to be a nice staying horse.’’

Rocknrolla’s win in the Waipu Cup gave jockey Trudy Thornton three wins for the day.

The Cambridge rider was also successful on Greencast and the Kim Knight-trained Spider.
