Hard-riding Wayne Smith took advantage of some thoroughly competitive fare to rattle off a brilliant four-timer at the yesterday's Jebel Ali race meet, a feat that was sensationally matched by retaining trainer Mazin Al Kurdi.

Smith, who has often times fallen foul with the Stewards for his overtly aggressive tactics, the most recent case being on Thursday night at Nad Al Sheba where he picked up one-day ban, was on top of his game to boot home Taj Al Moulouk, Ocean Star, Blazing Ability for Mazin and Victory Moon for top South African trainer Mike de Kock.

"It's unbelievable, to ride four winners is great stuff," said the jockey, who will miss the December 22 meeting at Abu Dhabi.

Mazin, who has expanded his stables considerably this season, completed his four-timer with the Ryan Moore-ridden Cloidon in the final race of the meet sponsored by Kingwood House Stables, an England-based facility owned by Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Deputy Ruler of Dubai and Minister of Finance and Industry.

Taj Al Moulouk, ridden by Smith, win the Kingwood House Stables Trophy.
