Aldo Domeyer had a red letter day at Kenilworth yesterday riding six winners from just six rides on the eight race card.

He started off with a treble for his chief stable, Andre Nel, the private trainer to Sabine Plattner.

Ready Set Go (Race 2) converted favouritism at 28/10, Loadshedder (Race 3) was the bookmakers 2/1 favourite, although not Tote favourite, and Guilty Pleasure (Race 4) won at odds of 6/1.

His next winner was in the fifth aboard the Shane Humby-trained 4/1 shot Midnight Vision, who recorded his third win in succession.

Domeyer then won the seventh aboard the Mike Stewart-trained 6/1 chance Icon King.

Domeyer rode a confident race in the last over 1200m aboard the Mike Bass-trained Wake Up Maggie, who travelled well throughout before storming home to an impressive victory at odds of 9/2.

The young rider could be forgiven for standing up in the saddle in celebration at the line to mark a memorable day at the office.

Domeyer did not have rides in either race 1 or race 6 making it a perfect day at the office. The archives will have to be searched to see whether Domeyer’s perfect six broke a South African record for the number of winners from the same amount of rides on a day.
