Hoop king of the hill

PROMISING apprentice jockey Jack Hill was the star of the show at the Mildura races on Saturday, riding four winners on the eight event program.

Eighteen-year-old Hill is in his third year of riding and has now booted home 45 winners, 32 of them this season.

“I rode a double at the last meeting at Ballarat and knew I had some good rides today, but the result was fantastic,” Hill said after the meeting.

“I have ridden a couple of other doubles, but that was my best result before today.”

Hill’s first ride of the day was on the Jake Stephens-trained School Boy Fantasy who won the 1200m Trentham Estate Maiden Handicap.

School Boy Fantasy was successful by a length from the Ron Daniel-trained Speedy Merc.

School Boy Fantasy was having only his second lifetime start and Hill was impressed with the five-year-old Akhadan gelding.
