Even by Jamie Richards' world-class standards, his unofficial New Zealand sign-off at Trentham today was special.
Richards is just days away from handing over the reins as senior trainer at Te Akau to Mark Walker, and while he has another weekend of racing to go, this meeting was his last Group 1 raceday before he moves to Hong Kong.
The fairy-tale ending came true as Richards dominated the Group 1 New Zealand Oaks and Levin Classic and won the listed St Leger for good measure with Leaderboard.
As if that wasn't enough of a flex, he provided the first four home in the Levin Classic and provided the quinella in the Oaks, where 30-1 outsider Belle En Rouge downed favoured stablemate Self Obsession.
The Levin Classic was far kinder to the punters, as favourite Imperatriz beat home On The Bubbles, I Wish I Win and Mohawk Brave, for Richards' second First4 in a Group 1 this season.
