The first of the father and son combination's wins came in the 1400 metre class three handicap with Kentucky Award.
With Kathy O'Hara on board, the five-year-old gelding edged Brett Lazzarini's Delude by 0.1 lengths for line honours - with Ciaron Maher and David Eustace's Capri Lane third and the Prices' Auburn Boy fourth.
The pair backed this up with a win in the 1100 metre maiden handicap when Kimberley Rain - again ridden by O'Hara - raced away to take it by 0.8 lengths from Jason Coyle's Penopera.
The Price's Taylor's Dream was just behind in third.
The duo's other podium finish came in the 1100 metre benchmark 58 handicap when Against the Tide finished third behind Barbara Joseph, Paul and Matt Jones' Delightful Dream and Pat O'Grady's Rocketing to Win.
O'Hara also had a day to remember, as she also won the 2200 metre benchmark 58 handicap with Matthew Smith's Lady Azamour.
The other jockey that had a smile on their face during Tuesday's seven-race program was Blaike McDougall.
The Albury-based jockey won the 1000 metre class one handicap (Clarry Conners' Pick The Score), 1200 metre class one handicap (Richard Litt's Shadow Chaser) and 1100 metre benchmark 58 handicap (Barbara Joseph, Paul and Matt Jones' Delightful Dream).
