The pair's first win of the day came in the 1200m class one handicap, where Shapur, jockeyed by Kathy O'Hara, won by 0.2 lengths from Natalie Jarvis' Heavenly Thunder and Joseph Pride's Maid in Milan.
Two races later, in the 1400m maiden plate, the Price's had their second win for the day, with Enrique Iglacier, ridden by Winona Costin, taking line honours.
The three-year-old gelding won by 2.3 lengths from Emma and Lucy Longmire's Scary Spice and Steven Wilson's Via Condotti.
These two wins continued the pair's strong partnership at the track, as they were presented with their 2017/18 trainer's premiership at the Shoalhaven City Turf Club on Sunday - marking the first time a father and son combination has ever taken home that crown.

The day also saw five other trainers claim race victories at the Archer Racecourse, starting with Scott Singleton's Art of Defence, with Jay Ford on board.
