Divine Okay, ridden by apprentice Rob Thorburn, was the first of three winners for the stable at the Sunshine Coast on Sunday.

Zhuang Shi, ridden by apprentice Jace McMurray, completed the treble.

Rustic Boom, ridden by apprentice Sariah Champkin, won on the Gold Coast poly track on Saturday.

A QUINELLA with State A Fact beating stablemate Snow Show was the middle leg of a treble at Kendrick Racing’s Sunshine Coast headquarters on Sunday (November 10).
That success came after a win at the Gold Coast by Rustic Boom on Saturday, giving the stable four winners for the weekend.
Trainer Start Kendrick said it was fantastic to see State A Fact (main photo) break through as the horse had battled injury issues.
Ridden Kyle Wilson-Taylor, State A Fact ($3.20-fav) won at his second run back from a 12-month spell in a Maiden (1400m).
He beat Snow Show ($13), which also ran well at his second career start, by just under a length-and-a-half.
“It was a strong win by State of Fact,” Kendrick said.
“He’s had his share of injury issues and the team at Hinterland Thoroughbreds have done a terrific job rehabilitating him,” he said.
“His first-up run was good, and he backed that up with a strong win over 1400 and should get better as he gets over more ground.”
The runner-up Show Snow was ridden by apprentice Jace McMurray, who went one better in the next race when he piloted Zhuang Shi ($3.50) home in a Benchmark 65 (1400m).
“It was pleasing to see Zhuang Shi get back to form third-up from a spell,” Kendrick said.
“He has been a very consistent horse and, hopefully, he can go on with it now and possibly be aimed at a Country Cup run on Magic Millions Day again,” he said.
Earlier, Divine Okay started the Sunday meeting off on the right note, with a win in a Benchmark 65 (1000m).
Ridden by apprentice Rob Thorburn, he weaved a passage from back in the field to score first-up from a spell as a $7 chance.
“It was a great ride by Rob,” said Kendrick.
“The horse finished hard to show he is set for a good preparation,” he said.
An apprentice was also aboard Rustic Boom when he won at the Gold Coast on Saturday.
Ridden by Sariah Champkin, Rustic Boom ($3.70) won a Benchmark 62 (1050m).
“He showed his liking for the poly track, leading all of the way,” said Kendrick.
