That was Blaike McDougall, who chalked up two race wins, a third and two fourth-place finishers.
The 27-year-old rider's first win came in the 1100-metre maiden plate, where Miss Baltimore, trained by Joseph Pride, won by two and a half lengths from Warren Ganderton's Poetic Miss.
His second was in the 1600-metre class one handicap, where the Matthew Smith-trained Wouldn't You Know edged Nick Olive's Lady Tabloid by 1.8 lengths.
The Southern Districts-based jockey's other podium finish was in the 1100-metre benchmark 65 handicap with Luke Pepper's Glorious Team, which was beaten to the line by Mark Newnham's Formeinaway and former Nowra-based trainers Robert and Luke Price's Noble Soldier.
The first of McDougall's fourths was in the 1400-metre benchmark 58 handicap, where he finished behind Bjorn Baker's Deel With Me, Matthew Dale's Jin Chi Phantom and Peter Robl's Dom Tycoon.
McDougall's impressive day at the Archer Racecourse was wrapped up in the 1600-metre benchmark 58 handicap.
With Robert and Luke Price's Yugosphere, the pair ended in fourth, being pipped by Nick Olive's Mohana, Joseph Ible's Folk Hero and Jarrod Austin's Lady Kirkham.
Other winners at Nowra on the day included Ciaron Maher and David Eustace's Narrated (1400-metre maiden plate), Brett Lazzarini's Cheap Charlie (1100-metre maiden plate) and Jarrod Austin's Timperley - who outlasted Stuart Warden's Westgrove by 0.2 lengths in the 1200-metre class one handicap.
The next Nowra meeting will be held on Sunday, August 22.
