Success in sprint secures title

EXPERIENCED jockey Dean Yendall cemented the prestigious Murray Downs Golf and Country Club Swan Hill June Racing Carnival Leading Jockey title when he took out Race 8 yesterday.

Yendall was aboard Jennyfromtheblock in the 975m Guardian Court Hero Sprint, the second last race of a bumper three-day program.

The four-year-old mare was first home for Morphetville trainer Lloyd Kennewell.

Yendall’s four wins, four seconds and a third saw him named the leading jockey of the Swan Hill carnival for the fourth consecutive year.

He said he had enjoyed the carnival.

“It’s been a great three days, Swan Hill has been lucky with the weather,” he said.

The leading jockey’s other successes came aboard Experimental and Luskin Belle in Race 3 and 7 on Saturday, and on Vertical Hold in Friday’s second race.
