The outstanding trainer finished the day with four wins from six races. His 12 runners also handed him two second places and two third places.
It was also a good day for Brooke Stower. She finished with four winners from her six rides.

Belinda Hodder rode the other two winners on the day.
Stower's quartet of wins - Queens Song, Let Him Fly, Binnacle and Danigree - enabled her to leapfrog Greg Ryan on the Hunter and North West Racing Association's jockeys premiership. She now has 21 wins this season, 17 shy of leader Aaron Bullock.
She will have six rides at the Gunnedah Jockey Club's eight-race TAB meeting although she won't reunite with Sinclair, who has Moree Dreaming and Happens Nomore engaged.
Sinclair has booked Rachael Murray to ride his pair.
"She has been riding Moree Dreaming," he said. "He's in good order, done well since his win at Quirindi. It's only 1300m. I'd rather be stepping up to a mile.
'But if he goes good enough, I might run him in the Inverell Cup. It's always a tough-run 1400m. There or maybe even the Gilgandra Cup.
Sinclair has 22 wins and is in second place on the HNWRA trainers premiership, behind Newcastle-based Kris Lees (30).
"Elevada was the most surprising winner for me," he said of Saturday's meeting. "[I] didn't see that coming on her track work.
"Queens Song was a fine win but Let Him Fly was the best win for little Amy Williams. She works for me and leased him, has 50 per cent of him."
He also took great delight in watching Stower's joyous post-race reactions.
"She almost rode the card," he said. "Four winners and two seconds. [She] went within a length of riding the card."
