Chris Alford, Nathan Jack and Rod Petroff all landed doubles on a nine-race program full of exciting racing.

Alford teamed with local trainer Gary Quinlan for the impressive victory of Most Happy Cullen in race six and the earlier winner Omy Son - both horses are raced by large Gippsland syndicates.

Nathan Jack drove Illawong Mary and Ravello Rock to victory, while Rod Petroff won with Come On Bonnie (which he also trains) and Priddy Easy.

Bongiorno Boys scored a narrow win in the first race in an exciting three-way finish for trainer Beau Tindale and driver Brad Chisholm.

Bendigo horseman Scott Dyer made the long trip to Warragul a successful one when What A Flight, driven by Josh Duggan, won the third race.

Father and son Graeme and Gavin Lang teamed to win the eighth race on the card with Warminster, in another close finish.

Despite rain on Monday the Warragul track raced in excellent condition.

The next trots meeting at Warragul will be staged on Monday, October 16.
