Lenas Art makes it two wins in three days for David Druitt

The three-year-old filly made it two wins in three days at Riverina Paceway on Friday.

She broke through for her first win in 18 starts at Leeton on Tuesday night and was quick to back up the effort.

Brucedale trainer David Druitt was pleased with her efforts after having to do all the work.

"She was good and I was really happy," Druitt said.

"I said to Jack (Painting) it doesn't matter how you run the race but she's limited to 1:57 and to make sure they ran that or make them go quicker to beat her.

"He did exactly what he was asked to do and made sure they ran time."

Lenas Art set a new best mile rate of 1:57.3 as she went of on down The Maniac by two metres.

The new system was introduced on Monday, with a ratings approach replacing the country wins format.

Druitt thought the three-year-old filly was able to find herself racing against a weaker grade of horses.

"She was one who was very unlucky under the old system and drew a lot of good three-year-olds coming through their grades," he said.

"Under the new system she's easily better rated."

Lenas Art won twice last season but struggled to reproduce those performances this time around.

Druitt is hoping for hot streak can continue at Albury on Tuesday.

He's confident she can back up again.

"She backs up pretty good as she's a bit lazy and only does what she has got to do," Druitt said.

"She's been around a bit and knows the tricks on the trade."

Druitt will take the drive.

Bayley Duck drove her to victory at Leeton while Jackson Painting was at the helm on Friday with Druitt out following a cattle yard mishap which required stitches.

It was part of a double for Painting who also tasted success with Donna Georgina.

Donna Georgina led all the way as she beat stablemate To Alaska by 8.5 metres to provide Young trainer Troy Fletcher.

Meanwhile Twentyeightblack extended his hot streak for new trainer Paul Kahlefeldt.

The five-year-old is yet to finish outside the top two in his six starts for the Wagga trainer and brought up his third win since April.

In fact he's only missed a placing once since July 2017.

Regally bred filly Jacquelyn Anne got her racing career off to the best of starts, winning on debut for Bernie Kelly.

The two-year-old filly by Bettors Delight is the eighth winner from Jackie Kelly.

Millionaire Frith is the best performed while fellow group one winner Molly Kelly and Stening have both won more than $150,000.
