Reigning SA Champion jockey Richard Fourie enjoyed his biggest day under the Ridgemont flag when he rode the first five winners on the Fairview card on Friday.
In a storming display of polished race-riding, Fourie grabbed the first five winners in succession, commencing with a smart debut victory for the Alan Greeff-trained Ridgemont bred and raced Gimmethegreenlight filly Walkontheside.
Fourie grabbed one for the Snaiths when Noodsberg shed her maiden in the second as the only runner for the champion yard.
The next three Fourie winners were for Alan Greeff, with My Best Shot winning the third, Arabian Red the fourth and First Wish the fifth.
